He wasn't joking, stop pretending he's anything other than an authoritarian shithead.
People who go on about Trump joking or making distractions are insufferable. This shit is actually happening. It's not a distraction. Nothing he does is a distraction and never has been for decades. He does multiple horrible things simultaneously and most of it sticks.
Welp, that's not good
Maybe it's not good for you, don't generalize.

Yeah think of the military-industrial complex shareholders! Why won't someone think of the shareholders?!
Born too soon to be drafted into some bullshit war
Born too late to be drafted into some bullshit war
Born just in time to be drafted into some bullshit war
But also
I love that bottom image, I hope you don’t object to me yoinking it and using it myself?
By all means. This is the internet, after all
Nope!
Never too soon or too late, just privilege.
americans start a war every 5 years.
Afghanistan and Syria failure just finished, ready for the next one to terrorise Venezuela.
'jokes'
Tests the water
😬
There's an adage - the precise phrasing eludes me - that says you should listen to mad authoritarians' rants because they tell you what they're going to do.
Yeah, I guess there were a lot of germans saying: Nah, Hitler ist just ranting about Jews. Do you really think he somehow will get rid of them all? How should this is even work and anyways most of them are rich and powerful.
tRump is that kid in school who talks about whatever is on his mind, giving away secrets without even realizing they should be secrets
This dude is guilty as fuck for everything you could think up and he gives the whole game away constantly like he's just taunting someone to do something about it. He's just yet to get caught for some or had accountability for others. It's a never ending charade of complete, brazen corruption and bullshit. I fucking hate this world.
"Hey, Jeremy, remember that secret that only you and I know? Isn't that a great secret??"
I would not rely on that he's joking about this...
The only way he's halting the elections in 2028 is if he starts a Civil War.
Even then, there was still an election during the last Civil War.
War time leaders typically don't lose elections ..
I guess it depends how into the war the US gets, but a war against Russia could be pretty involved, supporting a war for Russia might be the more likely outcome at this point though ..
NOT A FUCKING JOKE
it is exactly his intention to stay in office till he dies
Then it will be Jr's turn
This was legitimately a joke... It was just a very dark and scary joke because he's been publicly brainstorming ways to rig elections
and getting the press to stop talking about EPSTEIN.
Oh, so that's why he's threatening my country to clean up the cartels, huh. Just when things are starting to look up for us. I'm gonna have to pay with my future if not with my life because of this dickhead.
I'm considering joining the military if I'm not too old for it. I may be shedding tears but my rage is bigger than that.
Zelenskyy looks tired and sad. I wish we had a president capable of caring this much about his people.
I am so tired of this man's idiocy, but I'm even more tired of America not doing anything about it. The only news I want to hear about Trump at this point is his fucking obituary.
Literally what the 2A is about
And also what 2A has been woefully incapable of preventing for all but the first few years of this country’s history.
I mean, historically black power and workers' rights movements used it to great effect.
You mean like when California enacted stricter gun laws to stop the black Panthers from carrying?
Yes, exactly. If it didn't work they wouldn't have tried to stop it.
I think passing that law just proved that 2A never had any power. And rubbed it in the Panthers’ faces at the same time.
I mean, rights in general only matter if enough fight for them. We're seeing this right now with the Fifth and First Amendments; none of this is unique to the Second.
Exactly. But all the 2A morons claim it protects the other rights, when it hasn’t. At least not sustainably.
UKRAINE DID NOT START THE WAR. IMPORTANT DISTINCTION.
"Jokes" 🙄
Well, that’s my fresh cup of anxiety for the morning
Well ...

He was j-o-k-i-n-g, Jesus. You really can't joke about anything anymore! It's like you say one thing and everyone forgets this is a man nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Pretty sure he's not just going to suddenly turn capricious and violent over one little election. Lighten up, people!
Seriously these libtards have 0 humor. I bet my ass they would lose their shit if he makes just one little joke about raping kids with Epstein on privilege island.
Fascists usually only leave office when they die.
Oh yes another joke a human Trump joke.
I'm ok with it if the politicians that want the war go to the front lines first
May the heel spores protect the fortunate
When is the usa nit starting a war anyway
Donald duck, Pooh bear, and Botox Putler all walk into a bar...
Missing the old time we were laughing about the dictatorship of Chinese Communist Party and don’t care? Now we’re living in it, LOL.
