It\u2019s called lawfare. And that\u2019s what they\u2019re using against Trump. And I think there\u2019s interesting parallels here in America, as well as all over the world, you\u2019re seeing this kind of behavior. [Trump\u2019s] got four trials and some of these charges, whether you\u2019re for him or against him, they are minor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The interviewer said that when Stone started talking about Trump, a publicist for Stone\u2019s new documentary, \u201cLula,\u201d which is about Brazil\u2019s far-left president, tried to get Stone to talk about something else, but Stone waved him off.<\/p>\n<p>He later suggested that the U.S. needs to reform its <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/breaking-exclusive-analysis-of-election-night-data-from-all-states-shows-millions-of-votes-either-switched-from-president-trump-to-biden-or-were-lost-using-dominion-and-other-systems\/\" title=\"BREAKING EXCLUSIVE: Analysis of Election Night Data from All States Shows MILLIONS OF VOTES Either Switched from President Trump to Biden or Were Lost -- Using Dominion and Other Systems\">election systems<\/a> and political systems to be more like Europe so that there are more parties to choose from instead of it always being just two political parties clashing.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019re a poor man or a middle-class man it\u2019s very hard to run for office in the United States, unless you have money and corporate sponsors,\u201d he later added. \u201cMoney controls politics in the United States. If you go to European countries, you\u2019ll find that their elections are very mandated. The British elections are very low cost, or they used to be until recently. In France, they have election rules. And we need that in the United States. Let\u2019s get the money out of the politics.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLook at the [two] parties,\u201d he later added. \u201cWe should be multi-party and we should have public money in politics like they do in Poland.
