The GOP could reincarnate Hitler, run him in 2028 under the slogan "I'm going to start WW3 and murder billions of people"... and at least 30% of Americans would vote for him.

"Murder billions of those people". Then a large part of his support will be people who don't realize that they were part of the "others" all along.

You're giving the mentally ill cultists too much credit. He can say anything, and they'll simply fill in the gaps with whatever their heart desires.

If he gets a third term, it won't be due to any election, so why should this matter?

What do unpopular fascist leaders do (think: Putin)? Start a war.

Be afraid, very afraid.

My prediction is a war with Iran starting in about a year, to boost GoP poll numbers before the midterms.

Unfortunately, I think you're 100% correct. His base would absolutely lap it up under the pretext of "saving the world from Iran having nuclear weapons". Yup, straight out of Shrub's weapons of mass distractions playbook.

I think that Netanyahu had to move ahead of the US, since he's running out of enemies that haven't been bombed into submission. It didn't occur to me that he would attack Iran.

Trump: I hate brown people and want them out of this country.

Hispanics: You've got my vote!!!

Trump: deports their family and friends

Hispanics: He meant THOSE brown people?

It's been what, less than half a year and the shine has already worn off him? If anything good could possibly come from this complete trash fire of an executive maybe it will finally convince some voters that the Republicans aren't actually working for them.

Yep. Too many toxic males and females that have adopted the same mean girl shit are way too tied up in the identity of being complete assholes. Doesn't matter the peak the cognitive dissonance in their heads reaches between realizing that trying to "own the libs" is going to harm themselves, what are they going to do, puss out and vote for Democrats? Perish the thought.

And just plain nastiness. People actually vote with the goal of harming other people. Imagine that mindset.

If Trump's presidential term were a week, we'd be about 10 hours in. There's a long way to go until Wednesday.

Hasn't even been the bullshit "first 100 days!" the media loves talking about.

The shine hasn’t worn off a bit. He’s polling pretty much exactly where he’s been throughout this presidential run; in the 44-46% support.

Almost half the country still supports him, and loves him, tariffs, destroying the constitution, and all.

So what lol? Look behind you americans, I think I see a trans-athlete trying to turn your dog into a dei-dragqueen, scary.

"They're tranzzzing the dogs. They're tranzzzing the cats."

Seriously, that dumb bitch Megyn Kelly when she was on Maher, before the election, said trans was her #1 issue.

#1 issue. I mean, what percentage of people are we talking about? And that's her #1 concern? You have to be a special kind of stupid....

Also, if Faux has not already started to do so, I expect them to be showing b-roll of "caravans" that are "heading for the border", just chock full of black/brown hordes - mostly all young men - coming over the border and heading right for PEORIA, PEOPLE!

11% of Trump supporters who voted for him in the last election disapprove of him, according to this PEW poll. Honestly more than I thought but who knows how easily Republicans could get them back given their megaphone of misinformation diales up during election time.

15

That would only matter if you had a democracy. You voted to end democracy, remember?

They told me when I was a kid: If you don’t have anything nice to say, don’t say anything at all.

Expect even more crazy performative nonsense from him. Like wandering around the lawn talking about flags, FFS.
