It’s not like he said it verbatim, on record, multiple times right ?

The only one I’m aware of is him saying “sometimes you need a dictator” when criticized by other world leaders who called him a dictator at some global politics event thing- are there others?

In July 2024 Donald Trump told a crowd, “Get out and vote! Just this time. You won’t have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It’ll be fixed, it’ll be fine, you won’t have to vote anymore.”

Should have been thrown into solitary confinement the moment he said that shit.

His day one/one day dictator remark as well

No shit.

And it’s getting handed to him since he’s too much of a moron to get there himself.

That is a soft soap. It’s not the president, it’s the party. The party has been working towards this for decades, half a century. Stop weak sistering it guardian. (although I appreciate you being there.)

I don’t appreciate them being there. Them “reporting” on this is what allows everyone to be so fucking passive about it all. They don’t even know what’s happening because no one will say it directly. If charges are ever brought, this shit doesn’t end until they’re charged too for being complicit with all of this.

We’ve been screaming that for years and it’s happening, bit by bit the Untied States is committing another fucking holocaust, and nothing is being done to stop it

That was the plan since he descended down his gold plated escalator.
