But the US has been a dictatorship for a long, long time already, the mighty dollar is the lone ruler!
But the US has been a dictatorship for a long, long time already, the mighty dollar is the lone ruler!
Oligarchy-owned media barely mentioned it, if at all. Thank you to those actually keeping us informed.
And yet 90 million voters who stayed home say…”meh” Thats Americas reality now.
Trump is an old fat demented man who has made the White House into an assisted living facility, where the only throne he sits on is the toilet.
Uh, seriously…who would like a dictator? He really is delusional. Someone prob mentioned it as a total joke in the WH and he spewed it back as a false reality.
I don't think anyone has the guts to actually be in a weaponized resistance. No average person would be able to handle the level of gore that a civil war would entail. Let alone treat any of the injured. Many people don't have enough of the skills to survive. What the hell are we supposed to do?
Even Kings cannot do anything they want. Ask King Charles. But Dictator’s can. Don’t fool yourself Trump is already there and NO ONE NO is stopping him ! 🤦♀️
Next protest we need to make our labor memorable. It needs to be bigger than the others. Flood the streets! Let's memorialize our servicemen and women and LGBTQ+ solders by standing up for the Democracy they sacrificed for! Let's make America our labor of love. And bring sandwiches! 🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲 🚬😎
MSM and many other corporate entities are watching democracy burn at the hands of DT's vile regime. Will there ever be a reckoning?
It may have escaped your notice, but corporate entities have always been the antithesis of democracy - they're dictatorial top-down. Nearly all have never let morality get in the way of profits in any other area of human endeavour, why show an unprofitable interest in democracy now?
THIS is how the rest of the world sees him... bsky.app/profile/rpsa...
people got rid of Right wing politicians in other countries this year because they support trump ....not just in usa
The only ones who believe he's a total harmless and good President is the military... otherwise they would come for him and put him in a hole for treason...right? Right!
Looks a lot more like you became your own country to figure out how to become a monarchy again, but this time in an even stupider way than the english one...
When dead man barely walking, finally shuttles off his mortal coil, there will be no succession, only the carnage that the monster leaves behind.
Russia if you're listening. There's a 300 pound, orange dick ...
Kings (and queens) are supposed to serve their country and their countrymen and women. As Queen Elizabeth tried to do each and every day of her reign. He wants to be a dictator. He’s told us that.
Early on, I said this would be what would happen if Cartman from Southpark were in charge, but honestly? I think he'd do a better job.
It’s insane how he plays the proclivities of the lowest common denominator on the left and yet they still don’t get it.
I am not a crook. I am not a dictator.
Well We might be prepared to consider you coming back IF you learn to speak English And impeach that orange faced baboon’s arse
We know what's coming if we don't stop it. He ALWAYS broadcasts ahead of action.
Just because corporate media has been conquered doesn't mean Americans aren't watching trump's dog & pony show. The electorate must demand impeachments. The biggest cover-up since Bill Barr during the Bush presidency WMDs. Trump bombs Iran, Bibi is committing genocide & Congress is silent.
When he croaks, soon I hope, he can be king of hell
A lot of people are saying they would like a dictator? Muhammar Gaddafi, Assassinated 2011 Bonito Mussolini Assassinated 1945 Nicolae Ceaucescu Executed 1989 Julius Ceasar, Assassinated 44 B.C. Although I am a firm supporter of the Constitution and democracy, I am beginning to understand the appeal.
And certainly I sympathize and understand, but whileStephen Miller may be brutal, but he's not Brutus.
I knew Brutus. Brutus was a friend of mine. Stephen Miller is no Brutus.
Methinks thou giveth Brutus the human rectal polyp too much credit after all he did stab Caesar in the back.
The weather tomorrow looks very nice for a national strike.
Beware the dictator, beware the 34 times convicted criminal. Your President belongs in jail.
Contacted my reps regarding these comments by Trump. I won't hold my breath 4 a response. All my reps are Republicans, no better than thieves taking their tax payer funded salaries & doing absolutely nothing for their constituency. I keep contacting them. They need to know we're keeping records.
And yet here we are. The republicans in congress have abdicated their duty, the media and many institutions and corporations have acquiesced, and SCOTUS have paved the way.
Dayum.
Cuz they homely
As GOT plays out in real time in the Oval Office, we can look forward to the endgame.🤞
DONALD TRUMP CALLS THE IMMIGRANTS CRIMINALS AND FELONS AND RAPISTS ! BUT DONALD TRUMP IS A CRIMINAL AND A FELON AND A RAPIST !
There are a pretty large number of MAGAts that actually think this way. These are mostly the ones that had to leave sixth grade at the age of 16 , because they no longer fit in the school desks.
Don’t forget it was also not to pay taxes and enslave human beings who didn’t look like them
I'm still waiting for someone to ask him who the people are who told him whatever he said they told him. And which ones are on his staff. And which ones are in his head.
You’re the best George, but I think he is already the king. Your military is in the streets, that means it is over.
Sadly, Maggots don’t care. They do t think beyond today.
The country is being ruled by a Dictator
The peasants will rise and behead the wicked King
📌
Actually it's this country's obituary. This country has worshiped money & power, that's all we care about. What are we known as 'The Most POWERful & RICEST Nation on Earth';power & money. Why not the kindest, the most compassion, the most caring, the most uncorrupted, most generous & most peaceful?
"Fuck Trump" ✅ with an M256 120mm gun off an Abrams tank. And line up against the wall every past or present GOP Cabinet member, Congressman(M/F), State Governor and elected or appointed official, Supreme Court Justice or Federal judge who enabled 45 & 47 and use a GAU-8/A Avenger on them all
I'm torn. I want to see him in the ground, but I also want to see him held accountable for his crimes. As a bonus, I want him to see how history is going to remember him. But in the end, option 1 is completely fine.
This is fantastic.
Love your use of adjectives. Trump won’t even understand half of them
Wow. Powerful stuff.
Whoa! Pretty direct.
He went easy on him.
Excellent Obit. When he (finally) leaves us, it needs to go viral.
This would make a nice description at the Smithsonian following his death.
In-a-nutshell
AND the highly credentialed, highly connected, highly paid Dem0Rat$ did WHAT against him ...and Mitch & bushcheneyxxxRove & newt & bushAtewater & ReaganAiles? Fucking lose, or compromise, be pathetic ... keep their UNMERITED paycheck$.
No sound minded person would ever choose a dictator in a democracy. That is insane.
Especially him. He’s very mentally ill. His logic is what is good is bad and what is bad is good. He has to go!
Yeah… no. Not one single person has ever said they’d like a dictator. Not one. Delusional!
"When the president does it, that means that it is not illegal" (Nixonian litotes to David Frost, 1977).
I'm curious to hear how many of those people's voices he hears in his head on a daily.
"When the president does it, it means it's not illegal." Famously uttered by Richard Nixon during his 1977 interview with David Frost. Untrue then but apparently true now, thanks to the current Supreme Court.
1st I didn’t believe him & a person I know who is Latino is 4 it, even said he should invade Mexico because its a mess & praised the dictator of El Salvador, is fine w/having people deported there. Mind u they came here yrs ago, over stayed their visa, got married & became a citizen. I’m disgusted!
Also, he is president of Europe
So who is stopping him? WHO?
I HATE CORPORATE MEDIA.
@georgetakei.bsky.social but now you’re his country, so that woke shit is in the past. And you should leave it there. All hail the 🍊 King (sarcasm intended, slight despair present)
This is why I'm glad I'm old (I don't have to tolerate this shit much longer), but I'm terrified for my children. It's just wrong.
Now post the rest of the quote
Other than ordering certain heads on a pike, he appears to have the power of a king. And with time may be making such demands.
He cannot do things he doesn’t want to do.
👍
218 as of Today. The fascists are raging forward. Fascists at all gov't levels. I am being ASKED why I am protesting by TEACHERS!!! They had the summer off, why have they missed what is happening? Please do SOMETHING to save Democracy! youtu.be/O6EzqLPbMt8?...
He’s way past king territory. He wants to be God!
He's just a k short with that.
Wow. I thought LeBron James was the king.🤔
He's more of a "dick" than a dictator
This language is like my preschooler saying "I was very good today so we can play when we get home" Good try buddy, we will talk about that after dinner
If you must have a king, try one with a working brain and see how it feels. I like holding people responsible for their actions, especially politicians.
Who the fuck said that besides The Diddler in Chief?
To use the term "I can do anything I want" tells me someone never matured past the age of 6.
He thinks the whole country feels the way his shameless cabinet and administration feels. Can you imagine being that clueless.
Americans have long wanted their own royalty. Americans have elected the children of Presidents. They have elected the spouses of deceased politicians. If the Kennedys weren’t mostly dead or the Bushes and Trumps weren’t such aholes America would probably have its own royal family.
The key point though, is not that he said it, but that it is not top story. What’s shocking to me is not the actions of the administration. We knew who they were. But how quickly all the other organizations the press, the law firms, the Supreme Court, even Dems folded when he went full dictator
He is Troll baiting. Tacky & the basement morons bite it every time. The rest of the world rolls their eyes, runs to social media and to hear the screaming TDS outrage. Too funny. Works every time.
Disgraced Supreme Court handed him power of unlimited and unchecked means as part of their union in reshaping this country against the desire of the majority, but in unison with fascists.
Sadly, SCOTUS made this statement true.
American citizens made his statement true. Democracy isn't handed to you on a silver platter, sometimes you have to make dirty hands to keep your house clean. He openly announced no more elections, everyone knows he's a pedo. There isn't going to be some moment when people had enough if not NOW.
He believes he already is a King anointed by his own belief that getting "re-elected" was divine intervention.
He doesn’t want to be king - he wants to be God.
It’s crazy that people bought his BS. He is such a buffoon, he is hard to take seriously. How did we get here?
And so far we’ve proven him correct 🤬
With respect, he’s deranged enough to think he is already king. Or is it chicken taco ala king?
Can you imagine if Biden or Obama or even Bush had said this? It would be, and rightly so, the news cycle 24/7 for a month. But now, crickets. No one wants a dictator except him and his sycophants. When will the media start covering the truth? When will congress stand up to him?
His lot of people saying are mostly in Russia, North Korea and China
Fake president
Sounds like his grabbing pussy statement or shooting someone on 5th Ave. He told us who he was.
And then for some unknown reason, we elected him POTUS twice. I still can’t wrap my head around it.
A combination of saying “the other guys are worse, trust me”, endless bombardment of propaganda, a lot of outside intervention and just plain ol racism M̸͎͔͖̒̂͒͑͑̍̎̇̿̌̐̕͝y̶̨̛͚̝̝̗͎̲͎ ̸̥̟̟̤̬̦̌͒̚̚ͅf̶̨̨̘͎̫̠̃̔̈́̄́́̾̆̏͊̀̓̂͝a̸̗̬̝̮͙̠͚̦̮̜͙͉̞̓̄͂̒v̷̰̙͕͎̞̹̫̭͕̝͙̫̖͉̋̔͛̀̎̿o̵̗̟̬̔̃̓͗̊́̈̅͝r̸̲̮͖̠̼̹̥̣̠̳̖̥̘̓̍̑ĩ̵̡̘͚̯͖̭͚͔͖̤̰̗̀̒͊̄̔̿̇̈́̑̅̈́̚ţ̶̗͍̱͙̳̣͍͇̟̻͚̙̇̊ͅȩ̵̮̤̩̗͙̻͉̊͑͊̀̕͝͠ͅ ̸̡̠̬͉̫̀̀́̌̌͛͛̈́̑̋̍
Don't forget, as well: a giant helping of misogyny
Also forgot the heap of political and government corruption
Tons of voter suppression. Bomb threats in Democratic districts. Voter purges in red states. Etc.
You know what? I missed the lack of opposition from Democrats and the few months Kamala missed because Biden tried to run again
Keep reposting.
Muskrat rigged the win. No way he got ALL the swing states. His rallies were pathetic. Harris/Walz were on fire! That's how he won.
I believe Merrick Garland just couldn’t. Why Biden put him in, I just can’t fathom.
Conclusion, he must be in the Epstein files.
Even once was mind-bogglingly stupid. But twice. 🤯
Shows who America is?
The "land of the Free" is not truly free with a dictator in charge
100 year old can be a politician in usa
250 years is a long space to forget what having a king is like - American people forgot what the rule of a king is. So now we're coming back around to having one, because nobody wants to think about politics and make their own decisions anymore, so tiresome!
It's a contradiction. If he's "President of the United States," he's holding an office defined by the Constitution. Nothing in Art. 2, nor anything else in the rest of the document, implies he has unlimited discretion. In fact, its separation of powers means the exact opposite.
Welcome to Communist America Courtesy of Maga and Trump ! 😱🥸🐾
NRA? Yooo Hooo!
He’s trashed all norms. It’s time for the other side to start by not calling him ‘President’.
"People are saying" - the voices in Trump's head. 🤪
For the rest of my life I will gladly help topple any type of memorial or monument that may be built to honor this nasty POS dictator. If he gets a funeral procession in DC (what an effing disgrace to real heros) I will bring baggies full of something smelly to throw at his coffin. 💩
Sinclair Lewis is punching the air with expletives (somewhere in 1936). It wasn’t supposed to happen here but it did :-(
Let’s hope he meets the same end as most dictators.
Trump is right though: us citizens want a dictator. A pedo-dictator. If they really didn't want him, they would have done something the first 100 times that he announced it. Where is that general strike? Where is that armed mob? He was clear about his plans. There is no superman coming to save you
No one is stopping him.
King Midas is most concerned with gilding the WH, getting his wife on the cover of a big fashion magazine, & getting a Nobel Peace Prize. Oh, I forgot profiting from his presidency & getting all his haters jailed. Ok. Likely more crazy. He's NOT for improving American lives.
No he misunderstood...many people ARE saying Gavin Newsome should be president..he's old and can't hear well...
Journalists, come on. You are missing a layup here. When a POTUS even discusses the possibility of becoming or being a dictator, you should stop everything that you are doing, ring the alarm bells and then chronicle everything that s/he is doing to become one. Come on. DO YOUR JOBS!!!
Their corporate owners don't want to anger TFG.
That’s what I don’t understand. Their corporate owners surely know that this has become a Trump train wreck and that they are complicit in it becoming our sordid reality. At some point, you would think that they would course correct so folks who want to save our democracy possibly could do so.
A sane person would think that, yes. But all they can see is $$. They don't want to lose more money in ludicrous law suits. The corporate mentality is to make money. If they pay off TFG before it goes to court, the better for the bottom line. Since they have done this before, it's status quo.
Unfortunately, hewing to old ways of operating is the recipe for disaster. We are in the bad position that we are in because of the capitulation to Trump’s demands and threats by so many entities in our society instead of their fighting back. At some point they must fight instead of giving in.
Corporate American, as well as its super wealthy owners/majority stock holders, are all driven by the same thing that Trump is driven by... Jeff Beso & Elon Musk-type wealth, which equals GREED! For repugnicans, money has always equaled power, and they want all of it.
Our capitalist system — or, probably better said, the Republicans’ concept of it in which corporate profit and individual aggregation of obscene wealth is all that matters — is destroying our democracy. Achieving, maintaining and growing political power can’t be all that this enterprise is about.
Most MAGA would be happy with a conservative dictator and most voters today are MAGA
If it was ANYONE but Trump it would be, especially if that POTUS was female.
I'm old enough to remember Nixon saying something along the lines of 'it's not illegal if the President does it'. He was run out of town by his own party! My how times have changed within the Republican party. If the Nixon stuff happened today, Rs would hoist him on their shoulders & throw a parade.
🤯
It should be a top story and we the people need to unite and take our country BACK
Too late...He is already now King since his pics are already on Federal Buildings...Soon this will follow with statues on every corner of the US...Then it will be required to post his pics on every wall of every home in the US... Nobody left in the former HOME OF THE BRAVE to stop him now...
What do you suggest we do, George?
We don't expect a rational word from this convicted felon who belongs in a hospital for the mentally insane.
The press considered it a huge controversy when Barack Obama said of the ACA that if you like your doctor you can keep your doctor (because sometimes, in certain situations, maybe not). Trump gets to say maybe he's a dictator, maybe people like that, and they just yawn and stride by.
It was a king with diminished mental capacity which started the whole thing in 1776.
"A lot of people" are the sycophants he surrounds himself with, who will say whatever he wants to hear.
He has to become a "Dictator" to stay out of prison. "If Dems take the midterms, Trump will go to prison." Speaker Mike Johnson. He's literally fighting tooth and nail to avoid that. The midterms will decide both of their freedoms. Donny falls they'll all fall.
Not to forget #tRump also fired people who tell the truth about the economy, just because it was bad news. We can no longer even trust that our government is giving us the correct data to guide future actions.
We need our generals to come to the conclusion that Hitler's generals came to ASAP.
During his campaign every time Trump stated what the left would do his followers would boo, now that he is the one really doing those things they cheer him.
The people of the United States don’t want a dictator! Clots and prayers President Cankles
Clots and prayers. 😏🙌
Conservatives have forgotten that the US was founded on liberal principles: anti-monarchy, anti-Christianity, pro-education, pro-democracy. Time for the conservative ne’er-do-wells to remember why their ancestors moved to the US.
"wants to be" is now in the rear view mirror... You're there now, and it will take a MONUMENTAL effort to steer the cart back on course if it is even possible at this point. The entire world is watching as the US allows itself to be denigrated and ridiculed on the global stage. Good luck!
I wonder what'll be his "tea party" when the people have had enough of him?? 🤣
Thats the cuck cult media of 2025...COMPLICIT
Well so far we have been throwing pebbles at the self proclaimed dictator king. Verbally speaking against his physical attacks against us. If we keep to this strategy we will be in chains forced to our knees in no time.
especially by a fucking JAGOFF like Trump.
I’m pretty sure there’s also a lot of people saying they would like to read his obituary too.
📌
Really, he is more and more like Henry VIII every day. #HenryVIII
“Grab them by the pussy. You can do anything”. - The President of The United States of America
When he says alot of people he is lying. His administration of ass kissers and Republican enablers is who he is referring to.
“Off with his head!”
Trump must be swept away as we do with trash. Then Kevin Roberts/heritage foundation/2025, Stephen miller et al.
Trump also said "covfefe" and was caught wandering around on the White House rooftop recently. Apparently our would-be king and dictator is a demented old man with cankles wearing Depends. America really knows how to pick 'em.
No one is saying that.
He also thinks he is the President of Europe!
He is nothing but a rabid junkyard dog trying 2 take a bite out of everything in sight Starve the beast & stop thinking he is invincible, it limits imagination He's vulnerable but not in the way we think. Victims are his Achilles heel. Dems lack the imagination to neuter his entire administration

Listening to #YSians moan about ‘kings!’ when they have been a genocidal #MuricunEmpire for 💯 years is nauseating What? You like THE #EMPIRE benefits, but not the #Emperor when #WHINSEC comes home to roost & feed off yourselves⁉️ #Empire is okay when it is the #AmericaS & #Africa? Gimme a break
Awww You’ve lived in #MuricunEmpire 🇺🇸 so long, you forgot that #EmpiresSpawnEmperors 🇺🇸
#WETHEPEOPLE demand a Special Presidential Election! ARTICLE 2 SECTION 4: If the president is impeached for treason, the Vice President & Civil Officers shall be removed as well!
He may well not be wrong. There is ambiguity in the first line of Article ll that leaves open for interpretation what "executive power" entails. "The executive Power shall be vested in a President of the United States of America". How do you think Roberts SCOTUS will interpret "executive " power?
This is a disqualifing statement. He cannot be followed or supported.
You know it's a lie when Trump starts with: You know people are saying.......
The chaos at CDC was the only piece on NPR's Morning Edition today that dealt with the Badministration - everything else was either the Katrina anniversary, the Minnesota church mass shooting, or fluff.
And my great grandfather was the one that fought so that we would never have a king and he lost his leg in the war
Yea well, fck him. 😂
We? Now it's we? No, sorry, we became a country long before you fled your country, maybe its time you country hop again.
youtu.be/A-7uwshsfFI
MSM in the US (not limited to US) fails the world every day. It's like the don't understand that when a dictator succeeds, their jobs are gone. Especially tragic considering all the journalists who have been massacred in Gaza (and other places), risking their lives to share truth.
He's got no idea....we do NOT want a dictator, and we definitely don't want F47 in office!
Newsflash - America is beyond fucked and has crossed the rubicon!
He must be stopped, along with his Project 2025 thugs.
It's not a top story because it's old news. That he repeats his intent doesn't change that there's nothing new there.
That is a statement of intent and control. Mainstream media are not running with it because they are scared and now live in fear. Trump has started the important phase of his regime. Fear and reprisal. The mid terms will not be done legally. How will Americans respond?
Well, let's stop him. An IDEA. Also "Never Again" on Private Prisons. May be you can publicize the "SIT DOWN Sep-09 ". Was posted (yr) 250826 as 3-sets on "the WORDS -> PLAN -> ACTION ". See its up at shingla.wordpress.com/reason-why . Section after, on TEAMS LOCAL is useful too
Maybe it's time to start our own country to never be ruled by him.
I thought we started a country not to be ruled by a monarch in August of 1776? Or was that a hallucination? Sometimes I wonder 🤷🏽♂️
J6 was an insurrection and they are released and being decorated as heros. Does this mean that our choice is a bloody civil war or an honorable insurrection?
amen
😳
With this statement in direct contradiction with our Constitution, the president has just declared himself a domestic enemy of the Constitution of the United States.
Roberts Supreme Court: We think the founding fathers wrote the Constitution in a way that was designed to allow for that eventuality.
I’m not one of those “some people”. I don’t want a dictator! I didn’t vote for the manure smeared faced, high heel wearing, low IQ, lie telling Bozo currently in the gold smeared White House.
I think his point is the media is complicit. After DJT himself, they have done the most to destroy our republic by cowering before a dictator.
A famous man once said, “We’ll have no more kings here.” I’ll add, “no dictators, either, Mr. Trump. Not now. Not EVER!”
Whenever you see from trump “a lot of, or, many people” just keep scrolling. Nothing to see here. He’s just spewing more bullshit.
At what point should we start to worry, or maybe, DO something to stop this train that seems to be jumping the tracks of democracy? It's all fucking BS from that moron, but he's got soldiers who are carrying out his hallucinations.

We have a lot Ng but who has no power. You have a president who has power and exceeds that power that no one stands up to. I know I'm living in the right place right now, you're not. I fear for your people.
King Trump will never happen #NoKings
Dump REALLY should be king of earthworms right about now.🤬
He does not understand the job duties of a president. He is delusional & very stupid.
SCOTUS said he could anything as long as it’s an “official act” without defining “official”. So he’s acting accordingly and doing whatever he wants to destroy everything America has stood for for so many years. GOP claims to revere Reagan but they’re obliterating the Shining City upon a Hill.
As a European, most of us have kings. It's pretty harmless. But we don't allow them to be in charge of anything. Unfortunately, our politicians are, and they are nothing special mostly.
Am I the only one who has noticed that every time 🍊💩4🧠 says "a lot of people" it's really just his inside voice coming out?
Except that the first congress offered the kingship to George Washington. He declined.
Trump is (as we know) quite clever - he taken a word that is being used against him and trying to (a) detoxify it - "a lot of people want a dictator" and (b) at the same time normalise it through repetition. If he succeeds in sanitising it, then it is no longer an effective way to criticise him. ??
IDK, there are so many guns and reportedly many, many crazy persons in the USA that you'd think the solution was obvious. So why hasn't it resolved itself already?
I'm certain that a small percentage of people who are unwilling to think for themselves want a dictatorship. The rest of Americans actually understand the Constitution, and in no way want a mad king ruling them again.
