Hi. Sorry, I’m about to ruin your day. Donald Trump said something weird again.
After Trump’s, um…interesting speech at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, he attended a CEO reception, where he said this: “We had a good speech. We got great reviews, I can’t believe it. We got good reviews on that speech.”
“Usually they say, ‘He’s a horrible dictator-type person,’ I’m ‘a dictator,'” he continues. “But, sometimes you need a dictator.”
This is unfortunately not the first time Trump has responded to claims suggesting he’s a dictator. Earlier this month, he said, “I won’t say ‘cancel the election,’ ‘they should cancel the election,’ because the fake news will say, ‘He wants the elections canceled. He’s a dictator.’ They always call me a dictator. Nobody is worse than Obama.”
He also said this about dictatorships in August: “And they say, ‘We don’t need him! Freedom, freedom! He’s a dictator! He’s a dictator!’ A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we’d like a dictator.’ I don’t like a dictator. I’m not a dictator. I’m a man with great common sense, and I’m a smart person.”
People are seriously pissed and disturbed about Trump’s latest dictator remarks. Which, like, duh. One person tweeted, “There’s NEVER a time when a dictator is needed. Not now. NOT EVER.”
“The mask all the way coming off. Anyone still pretending this is normal is lying to themselves.”
“‘Sometimes you need a dictator.’ – Says the ‘President’ of the United States, a country that supposedly prides itself on ‘freedom,’ ‘democracy,’ and was founded solely because people wanted liberty, self-government, and political autonomy. I’m so sick of this shit. I’m sick of the ignorance. I’m sick of the behaviors. Sick. Sick. Sick.”
“no, in a free country you do not sometimes need a dictator.”
“The Founders built checks and balances specifically for men who talk like this. If Biden said this, Fox News would be calling for impeachment by sunset.”
I need a cigarette. Thoughts??
