“In your book, you were describing the directives of Mao Zedong during the Cultural Revolution that would be distributed publicly every night. And then you write — this is your quote — ‘They served a function similar to Donald Trump’s midnight tweets in office. They were the direct communication of a leader’s thoughts to his devoted followers, enhancing the sanctity of his authority,’” Hoover noted.
Then she asked him, “So do you see Donald Trump as an authoritarian?”
Weiwei disagreed with her assessment of Trump. Instead, he referred to today’s “woke” America under President Biden as an authoritarian state.
“If you are authoritarian, you have to have a system supporting you. You cannot just be an authoritarian by yourself. But certainly, in the United States, with today’s condition, you can easily have an authoritarian. In many ways, you’re already in the authoritarian state. You just don’t know it,” he said, shocking Hoover.
