Trump: 'A Lot of People Are Saying Maybe We'd Like a Dictator'
Donald Trump said "a lot" of Americans want a dictator while taking question in the Oval Office on Monday, but claimed he doesn't want to rule as one.

I mean, yeah, they are. He said before the election that he would be a dictator and the MAGA crowd was all like "yup, totally necessary, we're all for it."
The MAGAts are for it because they believe a Trump dictatorship means anybody they like gets to do whatever they want, and anybody they dislike gets thrown in jail without a trial. One by one they'll learn that it's not who they like/dislike that matters, it's who Trump likes/dislikes, and he doesn't like anybody but other autocrats and billionaires (and pedophiles, apparently).
Yeah. It's the type of statement where everybody on the left is mad at trump. And I get it. I totally get the anger.
But trump isn't THE problem. He's A problem.
Lets say, 2028 comes. And lets say somehow some way trump complies with the law. Two term limit. He's gone.
The problem isn't gone. Whoever replaces him on the right will be just as bad, if not worse. The problem is, as hard as it is to admit, or even say, the majority of people in this country support this type of behavior.
They support ice.
They support trans rights being suppressed.
They support racism.
I don't know if the majority supports confederates, but a large chunk of of them do.
I genuinely do not know how a bill would play out if they reinstated slavery. Optimism wants to say it fails. But the way things have gone? I can't say I'm confident.
And none of that is on trump. Thats all on the american public. Trump didn't foster these beliefs. Hitler didn't create antisemitism. They both just stirred the pot and used the chaos to gain and grow their power.
THE problem isn't trump. THE problem is America. We're just seeing an oppertunist use these problems to his/their advantage.
I don't think you're wrong at all.
But there's an element of "Cult of Personality" with Trump. I don't think anyone else can turn all of that hatred to a common cause the way that he has. And I think a lot of that has to do with being the poor man's idea of what a rich man is. Even back in the 80s/90s. You didn't see other billionaires cameo'ing in Home Alone 2. Or creating the Apprentice.
He cultivated an image of what "rich" looked like to gullible americans, then sic'd them on his enemies once he had the power to do so. Yes these people are racist. Yes these people are stupid. Yes these people are hate-filled assholes. But up until Trump, they were also largely being assholes in their own homes, making their families miserable instead of the rest of us.
It took Trump to give them permission to bring their shit out in public. And once he dies, I don't think anyone else in the GOP has the same cult of personality to carry it on. I think a number of people will try, and the GOP will devolve into internecine chaos.
It’s not most people. Most people are democrats. I’m not sure about trans rights but most people are against ice and the abortion laws.
That’s why the republicans are always trying to make voting harder. If everyone voted they’d lose.
THE problem is America.
I've been saying this for years. This is how the people in the US are. They need for life to be suffering.
yup
They voted for the party of leopards.
“I never thought the dictator would dictate MY life!”
Gotta do it before he dies... Which just happens to tee up the next guy (surprise surprise, it's a Christian Nationalist).
Lot of people are saying you're an idiot Donald.
Paedo.
Imbecile.
Buffoon.
Rapist.
Paedo
Criminal.
Traitor.
Russian asset.
Paedo.
Failure.
But mostly paedophile.
He's a kiddie fiddling rapist
here in america we say "pedophile"
A lot of leftists should be forming well organized state militias.
You only have a chance with a well organized army, with good supplies and/or logistics, or with the support of the State army.
Hope you the best from Brazil, kill this piece of shit!
Except that the US government has always cracked down on them while allowing the right wing ones to flourish.
He's made too many "jokes" about 3rd term, and suspending elections during war, and "many people agree...". There's a flotilla heading slowly towards Venezuela. Greenland and Canada could get timed "right". Chicago, DC, and Baltimore are on path to be vote blockaded. There's fatigue already over his fake emergencies. We will tire out faster than he will.
I'm so tired...
But tell me when the gen strike is happening and I'll be there.
There's literally National Guards in DC. Now's your chance to kill the dictator.
They don't even have to invade the capital. They're already there ffs
Damn, that's crazy.
WHERE ARE THE EPSTEIN FILES?
Trump also just said, "Nobody needed magnets until 20 years ago" until a Chinese "plot" convinced to world to use them.
Before he dies, I want just one single reporter during a Q&A session to stand up and ask "Yes, Mr. President. What the FUCK are you talking about?"
Fuckin wat
Donnie there's more people saying you should eat a bag of dicks, so maybe take a hint.
Even his most brain-dead sycophant supporters have to be aware by now that when he uses the phrase "a lot of people", he means "no body"
If it sounds like a fascist, smells like a fascist and looks like a fascist, you got it lads, it's probably a fascist.
(I searched for the least suggestive one, I think it's enough potato to not need a spoiler, hope I'm right.)
I guess so? You guys can tolerate Xi and Putin, why not another one?
No. We don't. That kind of talk will end poorly
And a lot of other people are saying thats a great way to get popped.
