Seymour Hersh Issues Grave Warning in Venice: "Trump Wants to Be Commander of America -- He Wants to Not Have Another Ele

Election”

Things got unsurprisingly political in Venice on Friday as Seymour Hersh talked about the “existential crisis” facing America right now.

Hersh, a celebrated American political writer and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, features in Laura Poitras and Mark Obenhaus’ Lido-bound project Cover-Up, the out-of-competition political thriller that traces Hersh’s explosive career, including his work exposing the 1968 My Lai massacre during the Vietnam war. “Cover-Up is both a portrait of a relentless journalist and an indictment of institutional violence,” the Venice Film Festival said, “revealing a cycle of impunity in the U.S. military and intelligence agencies.”

The conversation quickly turned to our current day politics and in particular, Donald Trump, at the film’s press conference. Hersh said: “There’s still integrity in America right now but as somebody said recently, we’re in existential crisis right now. And the president is a man who wants to be here for life. He wants to be commander of America. My belief is that’s his absolute sole mission. He wants to not have another election, because under the Constitution he cannot…. That’s what he’s going to be doing for the next three years.”

Hersh continued: “And I will tell you, I don’t have the kind of access to him, but I’m working on it…. This a bad time for America, and because of that, because of this man’s megalomania and lack of information, it’s a bad time for the world.”

Hopefully he'll die before then.
