Does Donald Trump really want to be a dictator?
Does Donald Trump really want to be a dictator?
His recent remarks about Christians never having to vote again may have been misunderstood – but they are telling nonetheless.
Well, let's see.
- He has been surrounding himself with and replacing people in positions of power with people based on loyalty alone in all branches of the government including the military,
- He has tried to overthrow the results of an election through violent means and said he will do it again
- He gets rid of anyone who dares to contradict him
- He divides the population against itself
- He called out for political violence against his opponents
- He floated the idea of getting rid of the two mandates cap for himself
- He expressed the intent of jailing his opponents on multiple occasions
- He said that if he wins next election voting won't be necessary anymore
- He openly admitted he wants to be a dictator on multiple occasions....
Beats me. It's anyone's guess.
Let’s ask Mike Pence
He expresses admiration for other dictators.
Yes
Please give KyleVapor my regards.
Yes FFS. Why are you still asking this question at this point? Couldn't figure it out after he successfully got Scotus to rule in favor of criminal immunity for presidents?
I'm concerned for anyone who had doubts after Jan 6
"Jan 6 wasn't a real insurrection! They didn't even have guns!"
Why are you still asking this question at this point?
Because the question in the headline is the propaganda meant to make people doubt the answer
I'm going to be a dictator on day one!
But... Does he really want to be a dictator? Hmm, we'll never know... Guess we'll just have to find out in January 🤷
TBF he said hed be a dictator only until things are fixed. And im SUUUURE he will give up his power with ease
He said he'd fix things, so that in another 4 years, his "beautiful Christians" won't have to vote again.
Yes.
Yes he does.
Let’s see - voting system gerrymandered to the point that minority rule is a factor. A political party exerts every possible pressure to make voting more difficult, onerous, or to expel registered voters from the registry, especially those in contested areas or favoring the opposition. Sending false electors to invalidate an election. Calling elected leaders on the phone to falsify vote counts. Literally attempting a coup to overturn an election.
Then the multiple times trump has directly or indirectly stated he wants to be a dictator and cement his/his family’s position in essentially a hereditary dictatorship of the country.
But does he really mean it?
The issue isn't whether Donald the Duck wants to be a dictator—it’s clear that he does. It's also evident that his supporters are aware of this. The real question is why so many Americans feel so let down by their political system that they're willing to tear it down completely.
Because they keep voting against their own interests? Because they’re gullible fools manipulated by outrage headlines? Because they aren’t able to understand the consequences of their votes?
I try to understand, I try to find common ground, but all I see is someone in a horror movie standing in an open grave wondering if they’re trapped but won’t stop digging.
Probably because they are feeling like the electoral system is not working for them at the moment. Sometimes you need to tear it down completely in order to build it up properly. Trump seems to be the perfect candidate to fuck it all up, before someone else can take over the wheel.
Be careful with those types of ideas "we have to tear down the system and anyone who tears it down is worth it" no, if Trump ruins everything, whoever comes after him is not going to fix it, at least not in the way you imagine. Believe me, in Europe we have seen those kinds of ideas before
Yeah when my car is running poorly I usually put a brick on the gas pedal and drive it into a tree then light it on fire. It’s the perfect way to stop having a poorly running car.
That's not how that works. You don't end up with a blank slate, you end up with a fascist shithole with no guarantee of it ever being unfucked.
He said he'll be dictator for a day. Is that like "just the tip"?
Yeah it’s just to see how it feels, that’s all, nothing serious, this is fine, everything is fine, we’re all fine here
Yes. The answer is yes.
Yes but in Spanish.
Olé!
With milk?
Yup.
He wants to become president to stay out of prison, first and foremost.
He also wants what Putin has... so yes. He's wants to be a dick- traitor.
Everybody knows that. Good thing people and media keeps giving him publicity.
I expected the 5:1article ratio for the candidates to change, when Harris took over. But it's too late for the shit hole country.
Trump = clicks = money
There is no corporate journalism, there is corporate profit seeking. That's all that exists.
Yes
Short answer is yes. The longer answer is yyyyyyeeeeeeeeessssss!!!
In the posted picture above, his head is blocking the letter “K”
Fuck your clickbait - he's old, he's weird and he literally said "I want to be a dictator"
There's no "play" in that word, no interpretation to be had, no reading between the lines. Fuck this website.
It has been mentioned in the past that he has skeletons in his closet. What better way to deal with them than to be the one who can cast them off?
He does.
Does you need a sarcasm detector?
This is one of the few times where Betteridge's law of headlines does not apply.
My quick summary: Trump is saying that he doesn't care who gets elected after he's no longer president, not that there will be no more elections.
Edit: This is a summary of the article, not my own opinion.
Sure Jan.
You in Paris rn? Cuz your gymnastics are amazing
