Resident uses public comment to criticize national leadership and warn of 'dictatorship'
Richard Gluckstead, a preregistered public speaker, used his three minutes at the Nov. 12 Doral council meeting to deliver a strongly worded political commentary.

Gluckstead opened with a rhetorical question — "Do you want law and order or dictatorship?" — and told the council he sees "the disrespect and downfall of our democracy," contending some people do not value living in a viable democracy. He criticized "your MAGA glorious leader, Donnie Trump," arguing that "Hitler did it, and Trump can do it too if we're not careful." He framed social problems as spiritual decay and said, "Prosperity without righteousness leads to ruin."

The remarks were part of the public-comment period; no council response or formal follow-up is recorded in the transcript.
