"A lot of people are saying maybe we like a dictator," Trump added. "I don’t like a dictator. I’m not a dictator. I'm a man with great common sense and a smart person." www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...

Trump savors the word “Dictator” and lets it circulate slowly through his mouth. He insists he doesn’t like dictators while proudly claiming them as friends, writing love letters and protecting them from justice.

When you have to tell people you are “a smart person,” it is pretty telling that you’re not-and you know it, and are extra insecure about it too.

If he is a dictator can’t the American people forcibly remove him?

I agree with Trump. He doesn’t like dictators. He loves and admires dictators. He wants to emulate dictators that’s why he relates to Putin, Xi and Kim.

The trump funeral should be ignored, boycott every channel showing it. Let those who participate be exposed as traitors.

"I'm a very stable genius". Trump is looking particularly stressed and deranged since the Epstein files point in his direction.

If you (Trump) have to proclaim, you’re not a dictator and that you are a smart person then I guess you have some insecurities🤦🏻‍♀️⛳️

Some of his problems are the cabinet meetings he holds with everyone praising him, giving him a false sense of greatness.

Anyone who brags about being smart is just the opposite. Anyone who has to say they are not a dictator is one.

I’m no historian, but I don’t recall any previous dictator saying they wanted to be a dictator before becoming one…

It’s an insult to consider debating trump’s idiocies. He’s blinded to self awareness in any social context. His inner view of himself in this world is thru tunnel vision with all its distortions. His output reflects the input from which he derives his torqued views. Garbage in, garbage out.

Only issues Executive Orders Sends military into cities even though there is no emergency Levies Trump Import Taxes even though there is no emergency Uses the DOJ as his personal defense lawyer (Epstein) and agent of wrath and retribution against enemies. Walks, looks, and quacks like a dictator.

I will never really understand why at a time when democracy is under a massive threat that national news media outlets opted to transcribe Trump's talking points instead accurately report on the lies.
