President Bill Clinton criticized President Trump’s actions attacking the rule of law, and predicted that the president would pay a price among those who believe his actions are un-American.

« We’ve never seen anything like this before in my lifetime – somebody that says, ‘Whatever I want should be the law of the land. It’s my way or the highway.’ And most Americans don’t agree with that, » Clinton said in an interview with « CBS Sunday Morning. » « But I like to think that he’s paid a price for this, you know, name-calling and throwing his weight around … I think it’s made him less popular. »

He said opposition to Mr. Trump would be bolstered if Democrats win governors’ races at play this year, and win back the House in 2026.

« Look, only elections are going to change this, » he said. « But I do think the courts are getting their dander up. I think that him shutting law firms out of representing their clients before federal agencies and in federal buildings, because he doesn’t agree with their position – that ain’t America.
