He has foolishly feuded with federal law enforcement and the military, making him about the last wannabe strongman who could ever get them to back a radical move like that. He’s no Kim Jong Un, that’s for sure. ---

Along with projection, deflection, lying, blaming Obama, Clinton, Democrats, and liberals, the Trump is “only joking” defense is SOP. BTW, I’m watching John Oliver’s new episode right now and he is talking about Trump not leaving the WH as I type. ---

Wow, and now that the most incompetent person on the face of the planet _and_ in history is occupying the White House, the pubbies have no problem with that very person suggesting what they falsely accused President Obama of doing. That shows those hypocrites have no concern about the law, and most especially about our basic law, the constitution. I’m tempted to refer to their version of the government of the United States of America as [url=]banana republic, but the pubbies are more corrupt and hypocritical than that. ---

> [@dasmoocher](#): > > Cue the countdown to the Trump surrogates explaining to all of us who deny the greatness of Trump and his wit that he was “only joking”. Trump’s not joking about serving more than two terms. The explanations will be: 1. We all know Obama really wanted to serve more than two terms, so it’s only fair that Trump get to do it. 2. We all know that Crooked Hillary would have found some way to serve more than two terms, so Donald should get to do it. 3. Trump’s first term was blocked by the obstructionist Democrats so it doesn’t count against the two-term limit. ---

1. It’s a national emergency: Trump would love nothing better than to go golf at Mar a Lago, but the moment he lets his guard down, millions of MS-13 gang members will swarm across the border and begin raping Midwestern farmers’ daughters and generally pillaging. It would be the end of American civilization, so it’s his duty to stay and defend the heartland against this invasion. ---

I wonder why he’d want to stay for even a second term, considering he reportedly hates the job and everything about it. I guess he and his buddies make dirty money left and right but man, life’s too short to do something you loathe, even for all the bananas. ---

Because not staying would make him a loser in his own eyes; not running for a second term would be equivalent to defeating himself, rather than a matter of leaving before the tide goes down. This is a guy who thinks that “winning” equals “teabagging your opponent”, “any situation where nobody gets humiliated” equals “losing”, and “anybody who, having won, celebrates his victory rather than the defeat of his opponent” is being a “loser”. Never mind that this last person actually won: they didn’t (try to) humiliate anybody, therefore they’re not a winner in DJT’s book\*. - With my apologies for using the word ‘book’ in the same sentence as ‘DJT’. ---

I guess he and his buddies make dirty money left and right but man, life’s too short to do something you loathe, even for all the bananas. I don’t think Trump hates everything about the job. I think he loves his rallies, having respected people kiss his ass, bullying and humiliating people, the foreign countries throwing out the red carpets, and, probably most intellectually interesting to him, picking out paint schemes and fabric swatches for the new design of Air Force One. I said many times that Trump doesn’t actually want to do the job of President, he just wants to play the President on TV: > [@](#): > > I went to the U.K. last week. That’s in England, by the way. Not many people know that. They had a tremendous dinner hosted by the Queen just for me. Best dinner you’ve ever seen. Food was just OK. Nice lady. She really likes me. Tells me I’m the best President she’s ever met. She really said that. Believe me. And she’s met all of them. But then later there were all these other people who wanted to talk to me about things. Boring things like the climate hoax. Why does everyone talk about that? And, NATO. Look, I said, "Not to worry. My good friend Vladamir Putin said we don’t need it anymore and it costs too much money. > > Keep America Great Again!!! [Caution: Not an actual Trump quote.

No; he doesn’t think anything much at all. But if he can get his followers to start thinking that, then he can rely on their outrage and their strength. Trump has no strength of his own. He is weak. He relies on others doing the things he wants done. ---

He also thinks he can fight impeachment in the Supreme Court. He couldn’t pass a high school civics test, even if it was open-book and he copied off the kid next to him. ---
