Trump on China's Xi consolidating power: 'Maybe we'll give that a shot some day' - Polidicks

[QUOTE=T553412;53175502]And Washington, too[/QUOTE] To be fair, escaping from under the thumb of one monarchy, only to establish their own, would be some amazing irony. :v:

[QUOTE=GunFox;53175398]You know, I'm almost impressed at how one human being can, on an almost daily basis, make remarks that paint an even more monstrous picture of him than the previous day. From weird incestuous comments, to xenophobic wall comments, to defending pedophiles, to becoming dictator for life, it really just a downward spiral of evil. By the end of the month he is going to be defending cannibalism.[/QUOTE] Listen people. I've got to say as a completely, the most unbraggadocious person I'm not someone who brags Trump family meat tastes the best. Simply the best. Absolutely the best. I've had it I've tasted it and I've got to say best meal of my life. I miss Tin- Tiffany but that person steak was the greatest steak Hands down. The hands were also pretty good. Much better than Mexican food.

This has to be THE statement to show his true intentions of becoming the president. It would be funny if it wasn't so sad how people will push this off as a joke.

Trump sweetie, that isn't what multi-culturalism is about.

It’s simply mindboggling how timid and meek the American population is over this ”presidency”.

Trump's remarks were met with laughter and applause during a luncheon for Republican donors Saturday at his South Florida estate. CNN said it obtained a recording of the remarks. Chinese President Xi Jinping recently consolidated power. Trump told the gathering: "He's now president for life. President for life. And he's great." Trump added, "I think it's great. Maybe we'll give that a shot someday." Trump criticized his Democratic presidential opponent Hillary Clinton, repeated his view about "a rigged system," and called the Iraq invasion "the single worst decision ever made." He referred to former President George W. Bush as "another real genius."[/QUOTE] First things, he called the Iraq invasion the worst decision ever made but then he calls Bush "another real genius" I don't know if he's being sarcastic or he's complimenting Bush and it's his weird speech patterns. But anyway the people at Mar-A-Lago reacted with fucking APPLAUSE? Anyone who supports trump being president for life isn't a republican or democrat, they don't give a shit about republics or democracy.

Disregarding legal term limits of the presidency warrants armed rebellion, in my opinion. If he has no fear of reelection, he has no fear of removing any rights of the citizens, which he has proven countless times to be completely apathetic for.

Trump’s presidency is great for greedy billionaires, of course they would applaud that shit.

Which is impossibly easy, apparently. They wouldn't even have to be vassals, just have a praise of how "great trump is" without anything specific and it would be fine for them.

Well I'm pretty sure this is what the founding fathers intended the second amendment for. Good thing we still have that, would be nice for it to not come to that though.

Trump's fantasies have been clear from the get-go, with his open praise of dictators and tyrants the world over. The only thing he places any real value on is his own personal sense of strength and power, and so long as there are people in the world who run countries like kingdoms, while he doesn't, he will be envious and petulant. This is especially true with the increasing pressure from Mueller's investigation -- he is furious, scared, and deeply insecure that he lacks the ability to snap his fingers and disappear the people plaguing him, as "strongmen" like Putin could.

How horrifying

Eliminating term limits doesn't mean someone will be President forever, and I don't think that it would warrant a rebellion either. Eventually people just get tired of who's in charge and kick them out. Congress has no term limits, you going to murder everyone in Congress that's been there more than 8 years?

FDR was the only president who actually got elected to 3+ terms before it was banned but he was far from the first to try. Not that that justifies Trump's wannabe-dictator garbage. Though it'd still make it far easier for that to become a reality. Especially with the corrupt pieces of trash currently infesting Congress.

Dont get why this was hard to point out since his first day in Office. Captain Orange Mc.Fuckstick views the Presidency as the same as an Absolute Monarchy. He puts his friends into government positions, allowing his own Daughter and her husband to make political decisions and to influence his stance on views, and makes policies and executive orders that benefit his business along with his friend's own businesses. Wouldn't surprise me honestly if Trump has been grooming his children to be his "Successors" once he leaves office or steps down.

However you can run again after that 3rd term for 2 more terms. This is why Medvedev was president for a few years. Term limits are also absent in most, if not all, parliaments based around the Westminster system, meaning basically every constitutional monarchy in the developed world. America is actually one of the only western countries to enforce any kind of term limit.

Frankly, if term limits didn't exist Obama would probably still be president.

Considering amendments need a 2/3rds of the states to approve I highly doubt he's going to be "disregarding" term limits in that way. In the simplest way I can say this, Emperor Scorpious II is saying if Trump openly defies the constitution to keep power then he thinks such an action would justify an armed revolt. And really I can't think of any reason someone would actively seek to abolish term limits unless they sought a legitimate reason to stay in power.
