FTA:
After these first three tyrannical, lawless months of this presidency, surely Americans can understand now that Donald Trump is going to continue to decimate America for the next three-plus years. He will continue his assault on America, its democracy, and rule of law until the American people finally rise up and say, "No more." From across the ages, Frederick Douglass is crying out that we Americans never forget: "The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress."

... The 47th president seems to wish he were king ...
Well, yeah.
It seems to be quite obvious at this point.
Asked differently ...
Why does Pres Trump seem to want to suck up to the autocrats and dictators of the world, all the while castigating our long-term Democracy-promoting allies?

I think it has to do with the fact that he suffers from very low self esteem. He figures if he were a dictator that would compensate for his many ummmmmmm short comings. Just a thought that I had.

@#5 ... I think it has to do with the fact that he suffers from very low self esteem. ...
Possibly.
But his apparent allowance of autocrats and dictators to purchase him helps his self-esteem, how?
My guess is that those actions further reduce his importance, not increase it.
Stated differently, he may be purchased for a transactional reason.
The President of the United States may be purchased for purely a transactional reason.

As stated back in 2022, I wrote on here to leave the man be and he'd go away. Couldn't help yourselves lol, but then again Joe Biden got you guys into this mess since the buck stopped with him.

Go away?
Trump was two years into his 2024 Presidential Campaign in 2022.

A statement that your current alias really has no clue about Pres trump.
Good to see it finally admit that.

At the time there were rumblings of Biden sicking the DOJ on him DeSantis was winning in the polls and then you morons went after him. Feel free to look at these polls prove it.
