Donald Trump has said that he will not become a dictator if he becomes US president again except "on day one", after warnings from Democrats and some Republicans that the US was in danger of becoming an autocracy if he wins the 2024 election.

Donald Trump has said that he will not become a dictator if he becomes US president again except “on day one”, after warnings from Democrats and some Republicans that the US was in danger of becoming an autocracy if he wins the 2024 election. Fuck, well at least he’s honest on this statement

    Of course he has a choice.

    He can choose facing the consequences of his actions.

    If that’s unappealing, he can also choose to, let’s say, “pull an Epstein”.

    Let’s not give him the benefit of saying this is the only “strategy” he has left, because that implies you can’t blame him for trying. Like any reasonable person in his position would do the same thing.

    And that’s complete nonsense. He’s not an animal stuck in a bear trap, he’s a human being, who has been very open about his penchant for fascism long before he was charged.

        Nobody said otherwise.

        If somehow, Trump managed to off himself despite constant monitoring by his secret service detail, what a shame that’d be.

        I might have to take a day off of work just to celebrate.

      I’m speaking pragmatically. Perhaps ‘choice’ wasn’t the best word.

      He can choose facing the consequences of his actions.

      If that’s unappealing, he can also choose to, let’s say, “pull an Epstein”.

      I find both of these alternatives extremely unlikely, but here’s hoping.
