And so it begins…
Cheeto ain’t joking about power.
Brave of him to assume he’ll still be alive by year four
I don’t see him lasting his full term. Dude’s old, is incredibly unhealthy, and has enough power-mad people around him that the first sign of weakness will probably be enough for medical intervention and Vance becoming president. Becoming president AGAIN at his age is possibly the dumbest thing he can do for his health.
Sadly his Klan loving father lived to 93, and being POTUS is like having a dedicated one person ER following you around.
Also, the office only ages you if you’re committed to performing the job, Trump uses the office to troll the people he can troll and, more urgently, personally profit for anyone that offers him or his businesses a bribe in exchange for a Presidential act. He doesn’t work even in business, he issues broad, pie in the sky dictates and encourages his own employees infighting about the details. He’s bragged about this.
Trump was the first President in my lifetime to accelerate the aging of those he governed rather than himself. Like so many other things people seem to forget, he spent a lot of his first term golfing.
Not that I’m complaining on that point, golf motherfucker! Do less!
We all know assholes live forever
Long as his “forever” ends at or before 2027
Forever could be thankfully short thanks to his awful health and lifestyle.
But then these damn Skeksis stay on the throne a lot longer than should be possible.
I would not worry that this guy stays around too long,he might croak.
Then fucking Elon is going to take over
All it takes is one fair election to be won decisively by an autocrat. The democratic party handed it to this shit head. Worst yet, he doesn’t even have to rig the election system because the democrat party is fucking incapable of attracting voters and it doesn’t look like they are going to fix what is broken about the party.
It’s just a joke 🤣… he’s got like 5 years of good cognitive abilities tops. Then after he’ll be like all the other old farts. Barely makes any sense and is just totally old and dilapidated. No way they’re gonna keep him in power then. He might just croak.
Again, you mean.
Not really… This time America voted for the felon to become a dictator
And the felon will do whatever he can to make it happen.
Last time it was still a misguided presidency.
I hear ya, but I mean he ‘joked’ about it before this election too.
Yup, specifically “You won’t have to vote anymore.”
Don’t forget when he praised Xi Jinping for removing term limits and suggested he might do the same https://www.reuters.com/article/world/trump-praises-chinese-president-extending-tenure-for-life-idUSKCN1GG03P/
He’s also just explicitly said that he wants to be a dictator, but that apparently isn’t a turn-off for much of his base, and in fact many of them see it as a positive: https://apnews.com/article/trump-hannity-dictator-authoritarian-presidential-election-f27e7e9d7c13fabbe3ae7dd7f1235c72
If only there were just one example instead likely over 10
This time America voted for the felon to become a dictator
No, they just voted for the term that runs 2025-1-20 to 2029-1-20. The dictator thing might end up happening, but it’s not what was voted on.
Fuck that, he said multiple times that he’d be a dictator (on day one). He’s talked about terminating the Constitution. He tried to overthrow the 2020 election. He’s the only person who has ever argued that Presidents should have immunity, and then his hand-picked Supreme Court gave it to him. He said multiple times that this is the last time you’ll have to vote.
There is no gray area. He wants to be a dictator and will do EVERYTHING to make it happen. And his fucking supporters want it, too. Don’t give them any leeway and don’t give him any leeway. Call his and their bullshit out every fucking chance you get.
There is exactly one argument that fascists understand.
Not a joke.
You would think they would figure it out right? It’s not a joke.
You’d think, but then 75 or so million people either didn’t, or wanted this.
Remember, the Constitution is just a really old piece of paper if the people entrusted to enforce it choose to ignore it.
There is a non-zero chance that Trump could move to suspend the Constitution entirely, backed by a complicit Cabinet, Congress, Supreme Court and several state governments. And at that point, we would literally have to hope and pray that the rank-and-file military is on the side of the people, which is far, far from guaranteed. Because if they’re not, you can claim your Constitutional rights all you want, but you’ll be doing it with the other prisoners inside of whatever re-education camp you’re assigned to.
Heck, there’s a non-zero chance that the American voter just gives off a collective “meh” and just apathetically lets Trump seize total power. We just saw a few million people do just that.
Wow, already in the first week. Expect to hear this joke periodically over the course of his term, each time getting slightly more seriously stated. By the third year, everyone will have heard it so much it’ll be accepted as a perfectly reasonable idea. And the media will help that along in how they report on it. This is the tried and true playbook and it will work, not only for this plan but for their other plans.
Take for example the planned mass deportations. They’ll start out with finding some people who have committed crimes (or they claim have), deport them and no one will object to that, it’s already how it’s done. As they move on to those whose crimes are not very consequential, like traffic tickets or whatever, if libs say anything against it, they’ll pounce on it and amplify stories how the libs are overreacting and want criminals to be left free and have open borders. Harping on any criticism in cases that are technically justified is key to getting the public used to pooh-poohing any dissent as they start escalating and going after the law-abiding (other than being here illegally ofc) immigrants, families with mixed status members, DACA/Dreamers, parents of children born here and thus citizens and deporting the children with them, etc.
Ha such fun joke
Edit: also just boys being boys
Ben Shapiro is a hypocritical piece of shit. Sorry that might not be relevant.
Nah, that’s always relevant
Ben Shapiro is a <del>hypocritical</del> piece of shit.
Ftfy.
He won’t stay in power. His appointment of incompetent sycophants will dismantle 250 years of American prosperity (maliciously or negligently, it doesn’t matter) and it will be sold for parts to billionaires and foreign states.
will dismantle 250 years of American prosperity
cough 1961 to 2008
It wasn’t a joke.
