A new low for Donald Trump

[Mirgofino]

It is unfathomable to me that anyone would vote for him. I actually have no words for it.

Yet tens of millions will vote for him if they can.

Yes. Dictators can only exist if someone votes for them to be their dictators. Like Adolf Hitler and Vladimir Putin. And Donald Trump.

The problem is that it's a one way street. People can vote in a dictator if they are unhappy with how things are, but they never leave office voluntarily. This is the democratic dilemma.

It's not even clear that he would leave office in 2029 if he gets a second term. Once you pack the country's institutions with your own loyalists all kinds of things are possible. They had term limits in Russia but Putin is still there. It's hard to believe Republicans will force him out if he invents some pretext to ignore the Constitution and refuses to leave.

And the lows go lower:

Indeed they do. He also the same person who said that there were airplanes back in 1775. Donald-MAGA King-Trump's comments shows he doesn't know shit about history,and lives in an alternate reality.

What's really hard to fathom is that Trump's approval rating seems to be improving the worse he gets, whereas Biden's has gotten worse even though problems like inflation and violent crime have been declining.

Trump Derangement syndrome is out of control on here.

Trump Derangement syndrome is out of control on here.

Trump's derangement is widely documented. Listen to any speech of his or any interview with him.

What is the purpose of the verifiable rubbish we hear?

That the people convicted of breaking the law by smashing their way into the Capitol building, threatening to murder the Vice President and the Speaker, succeeding in causing the death and injury of Capitol staff, and now in prison are actually ‘Hostages’?

This can only be claimed by people who believe the rule of law in the US is not legitimate.

And a President has no right to interfere in the result of a General/Presidential election at any stage, a fact so basic it is simply bare faced cheek for Trump to now claim he didn’t know the rules when he interfered in the Georgia result. And it has nothing to do with free speech when the man and his supporters broke the law in an attempt to force their view on the entire country.

So what is going on here? It is a long established and co-ordinated assault from people like the Atlantic Society and their associates who aim to de-legitimise Government. At every turn of the screw, ridicule politicians, defame them, hail their policies as an overt or covert tool to destroy the very idea of what it means to be an American citizen, as understood c1776.

For Murdoch and the Kochs, Markets must Rule, because they are superior to Government, because Governments are the problem not the solution, and who has done more to undermine the public’s faith in elections, democracy and the rule of law, than Trump?

But just as atheist Trump relies on so-called Christians, so a man who clearly does not believe in free enterprise or ‘Markets know best’ is recruited by those for whom it is their religion.

This dangerous nonsense may not end in November, but it may be the beginning of the end.

You mean like when people warned that he would refuse to accept an election loss and would resort to any means to overturn it?
