A Pennsylvania voter explained to The Philadelphia Inquirer why he decided to vote for Trump, despite believing he's a "dictator"—and it's peak MAGA.

A Pennsylvania voter admitted that President-elect Donald Trump is a "dictator" and likened him to German Nazi Party leader Adolf Hitler—but nonetheless still voted for him.

Matt Wolfson, a 45-year-old former construction worker, told The Philadelphia Inquirer why he decided to vote for Trump and his admission went viral after a photograph of the article snippet was shared on X, formerly Twitter.


The excerpt reads:

"In Scranton on Wednesday, Matt Wolfson, a 45-year-old former construction worker, looked around at poverty in the Rust Belt city and thought the nation needed a change in leadership."
"Wolfson said he didn’t love the dictatorial aspect of Trump’s personality, but thought it could help keep the country out of wars and maybe bring peace to some other conflicts, including in Ukraine."
“He’s good and bad. People say he’s a dictator. I believe that. I consider him like Hitler,” Wolfson said. “But I voted for the man.”

Throughout the campaign, Trump drew comparisons to Hitler. His rhetoric echoed language used by the Nazi leader, referring to opponents as "vermin" and claiming that undocumented immigrants are "poisoning the blood of our country."

Recently, retired Marine General John Kelly, who previously served as Trump’s White House chief of staff, said Trump “certainly prefers the dictator approach to government.” It was also Kelly who confirmed to The Atlantic that Trump privately commended Adolf Hitler's generals for their loyalty, stating he wanted "the kind of generals that Hitler had."

Social media users were horrified.



In the final days of her campaign, Vice President Kamala Harris made clear that Trump meets the definition of a fascist. She stressed that, should Trump win, “he’s going to sit there, unstable and unhinged, plotting his revenge, plotting his retribution, creating an enemies list.”

She also reiterated the danger the country faces after Trump suggested the possibility of using the military to address what he referred to as "the enemy from within," which he described as "radical left lunatics" who, in his mind, are more dangerous to our country than any foreign threats.
