Putin’s recent actions, and Trump’s, fit the usual pattern: bad leaders nearly always get worse. They get worse in four phases, each more ominous and compounding than the one before. The progression usually starts slowly — perceptible, perhaps, but unremarkable. Then it picks up steam. Finally, if leaders are left to their own devices, their bad behaviors metamorphose from insignificant to significant, and finally to malignant and malevolent.
There is no upside to electing Trump, either domestically or abroad. He’s obviously dedicated to autocracy over democracy given his talk of perpetual presidential immunity and dismantling checks and balances. Regarding international relations: I’m convinced dictators like Putin and Kim Jong Un (North Korea) love him because he’s so easy to play like a fiddle. Just appeal to his ego and he’s yours.
Trumps ideas are not his own. He is parroting putin., kim and who knows who else. They love trump because he owes them more money than he could ever pay back (assuming he paid his debts).
Pay attention and you can tell when he is talking from his own meth addled brain or when he has a script to stick to.
If trump gets elected, this country is over (as we know it) we just won’t know it yet. If trump wins, the maggats will find a way to keep him or his vp in office regardless of who wins the next election. If he wins again, it is the first step towards us having our very own dictator and nothing short of a civil war will remedy it.
Oh … OH… I know this one, pick me!
OK, you’re up.
Oprah Winfrey!
You think the orange mussolini is parroting Oprah?
I bet the US forces don’t follow him and just impose themselves in a nice little junta. Cut out the middleman. And then you have a civil war between the army and the marines or the national guard and the coasties or some bullshit.
Yeah. I don’t want to find out. I’d be fine playing a sim to simulate this but I don’t want to find out in real life.
Do they really like him though? Or do they just find him a useful idiot while also agreeing with everyone else that he’s a delusional asshole?
It’s hard to tell for sure, but Kim Jong Un’s letters to Donald Trump read like something out of a Hallmark romance movie.
