'Drunk with power': Warning given Trump is sending his 'army' of lawyers after Americans
Reacting to Donald Trump's accusatory and, at some times, rambling, speech at the Department of Justice on Friday, MSNBC host Michael Steele said the message sent by the president should send a chill down everyone's spines.
Speaking with his co-hosts on MSNBC's "The Weekend," the former Republican National Committee chair said the re-elected Trump has an "army" of lawyers this go-around willing to do his bidding, no questions asked.
During his speech, Trump asserted his opponents are "scum," called judges "corrupt” and accused prosecutors who investigated him of being “deranged.”

That led Steele to state, "And so folks, you're seeing in real-time, the side of Donald Trump that basically says he's now drunk with the power given to him by the Supreme Court to act with impunity, drunk with the power of an election that, you know, he won, obviously the majority of the vote."
"But the reality of it is the idea of governing and serving the American people is the farthest thing from his mind," he accused. "And he's getting his little army that he's going to send out around the, around the country to enforce his view of what America should look like."
Addressing the DOJ speech once again, he added, '"In that room this week he got the ultimate confirmation that they don't work for us –– they work for him."
"So ya'll better watch out, all of us better watch out, because the Department of Justice has now been ramped up and turned on the American people," he warned.
