"secret"
He's been announcing his intentions over loudspeakers for the last decade.
apparently it was secret because his followers said "It's just a joke bro" after each time.
Trump boot lickers really want a monarch
They don't even make a secret of it. r/The_Donald called him "God emperor" all the time. And they weren't joking even if they claimed they were.
I will never believe the whole thing (Trump) didn't start out as a joke like Boaty McBoatface, which was so preposterous, so bonkers that it went viral and a bunch of out of touch idiots didn't get the humor and took out all as a serious movement and then made it one. I think it's mass delusion.
Dipshits have been worshipping Trump as a business genius for decades.
I might have believed before he began loudly proclaiming what a giant moron and narcissist he is for the last decade.
It was a coordinated sci ops. The_donald popped up practically overnight and pushed its way to the top of Reddit as a "joke" subreddit and it gradually got worse from there.
It has to be just meme fuckery. It had to be. He was the most unserious candidate ever. He fucking asked a geopolitical rival for help hacking our institutions of democracy on live fucking tv! He's a fucking joke candidate followed by people who don't even know they got played by Trump and 4chan and this Q chucklefuck. Trump is supported by a Batman villain with a fucking Nixon tattoo. This is comedy. This is farce! Well fucking played, assholes. You got us. You got us fucking good.
And these morons with room temperature IQs are so fucking illiterate that they are incapable of recognizing the rank irony. Fuck even Trump, on the eve of his election victory, you could see it on his face - he was thinking "what have you stupid motherfuckers done? I just wanted to drum up the name recognition and net worth!"
I just can't take that fucking turnip seriously.
coordinated sci ops
Coordinated science operations are well above anything that the_dipshit could put together
Some of them really just want to own the libs. A trump dictatorship? Totally owns the libs. Mention the possibility of an Obama dictatorship in response? They'll freak out and start blabbing about our sacred democracy. They have no consistent beliefs.
They want to be on top. That's their belief. Don't try to make sense of anything, because most of their complaints are just "waaahh! I want this smelly old fatass to be president!" That's it.
They're afraid and ignorant. They feel like society is circling the drain, and they think an authoritarian is the solution.
Ironically, society is circling the drain because US capitalism is an authoritarianly structured system.
Agreed, but don't discount the role of religion in that equation, either.
Weak people crave to be dictated
A subset are also salivating for a leader that will make the lives of brown people harder
That’s because they can’t rule by consensus
We have precedent on how to deal with people who act like King George.
We're already at the "wait for them to lose their mind" stage!
Apparently Trump must've been a fan of Hamilton and liked that "You'll Be Back" song so much that he wanted to Make America Monarchal Again.
He wants to be like his hero, Putin.
No, he wants to be like his hero, Hitler.
I could never understand these things calling anything secret. If they truly are secret, how the hell did they write an article about it?
Probably just clickbait phrasing. There's an alarming number of people who don't know what Project 2025 entails or that he has been paraphrasing Hitler, but putting those things on a headline likely doesn't get people to engage as much as, "Hey, wanna know a secret about Trump?"
And towards the ends of educating the public about the real threat Trump poses, I'll allow a little clickbait to get them to pay attention.
Say Trump gets his wish and becomes authoritarian leader of the US, the god-king his voters want.
When he dies in less than 10 years, who's going to take his place? What's the end goal for the Republicans after Trump? Do they even have one? (Probably not).
Lol if you think Republicans don't have a plan, you're not paying attention. Those people are crafty motherfuckers.
I mean yes but recently there are also true believers. People like MGT (I think that was her name?) aren't any craftier than a rock.
When he dies in less than 10 years,
Have you sen him lately? I bet he doesn't last 4 years at the rate he's shoveling the amphetamines into his face hole.
Someone got 1000 tabs of ProVigil from the White House pharmacy under Trump's watch & I bet it was President Meth-head himself.
Probably nepotism will apply and one of his kids will take over. Wouldn't be surprised if Trump Jr was Trump's VP pick.
Ivanka is the best political Trump. His boys are utterly unlikeable, she can say least pass off as human like
And with how much Trump likes her...
Just like with School Shootings this is EXACTLY what the Founders intended!
They were also into owning people and women having no rights so who gives a fuck what they thought?
He just hopes the courts rule in his favor and Biden is to much of a pussy to have him wacked. Which Biden should be planning now just in case if he's smart.
Eh, King George wasn't immune. We have this supervirus called Revolutionary War.
The Madness of King Donald
This is the best summary I could come up with:
This month, Donald Trump’s lawyers have argued in a federal appeals court that he, as a former American president, is “absolutely” immune from criminal prosecution, possibly even if he were to order the assassination of his political enemies.
The 1973 OLC memo that the Trumpworld elite hopes to expand upon lacks the force of law but as a matter of policy, administrations since the Nixon era have deferred to it as the settled guidance for how to handle potential presidential crimes while in office.
The two memos formed the basis of the Justice Department position that also helped keep then-President Trump free from potential criminal charges during Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s wide-ranging probe into Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election.
Trump plans to appoint a reliably loyal and pliable attorney general and stack the DOJ with a pre-vetted roster of MAGAfied lawyers who would be more responsive to the White House, and effectively erase the federal cases against him.
Foremost among them is that the D.C. appeals court is already poised to answer the question that an OLC memo would seek to settle when it rules on whether the special counsel election subversion case can move forward to trial.
“EVEN EVENTS THAT ‘CROSS THE LINE’ MUST FALL UNDER TOTAL IMMUNITY, OR IT WILL BE YEARS OF TRAUMA TRYING TO DETERMINE GOOD FROM BAD,” Trump wrote in an all-caps social media post earlier this month.
The original article contains 1,859 words, the summary contains 236 words. Saved 87%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
