Trump talking in 2024:

  • "dictator on day one"
  • "you won't have to vote again"

Am I suppose to be surprised?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 24 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I believe I was banned from r/donald in 2016 because I posted after the election something like, "trump 2024."

Was told I was a troll.

Nope. It was clear since day 1 after the primaries.

Don't worry they're now doing deep reflection on their president and will recognize ah fuck I can't finish that with anything funny.

Lemmy try:

Don’t worry they’re now doing deep reflection on their president and will recognize the weight of the constitution- nope nope. Its all shit.

Is that a real store? Has trump officially started his campaign for 2028? It's so hard to tell jokes from reality.

[–] 0x01@lemmy.ml 35 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Yes it's the official store, it’s real, and he has been quite explicit about running for a third term.

You're right, he has been explicit. It's a weird time to bring it up again though, right? Like he still has a lot of time. There's plenty of terrible news flooding the media. Maybe he thinks he needs four years of normalizing this idea to make it happen? Or maybe he thinks he will embolden his base by giving them a meme hat to try to bully everyone who keeps pointing out that they're terrible people?

Edit: also is it weird for a president to have a brand store? I mean, I know Trump always has, hence why this wasn't the first piece of weirdness that occurred to me. But it IS weird, right?

Carter couldn't keep his farm but Trump? Oh he can sell merchandise!

Not too weird considering he held his first rally for reelection less than a month after taking office in 2017.

Wow, $50, I could get a few eggs for that kinda money.

[–] RidderSport@feddit.org 3 points 2 months ago

Not by 2028 you won't

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 21 points 2 months ago (2 children)

What a fucking traitor.

That's probably what he was privately polling the state governors for, to see if he had the votes to amend.

Bad news ... it would be an Obama/Trump ticket if they allowed more than two terms again.

[–] flicker@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

I really really really don't want them to amend. I really, really don't.

But I'm about... ninety percent certain that if I see an Obama versus Trump election, I'll need whoever breaks the news to me to be recording, because the mad laughter that erupts from me will soon be as ubiquitous as the Wilhelm scream.

"What sound shall we use here to signify pure insanity?" "Ah, yes, queue up the flicker laughter."

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No they worded the amendment very specifically, it's two consecutive terms is the cutoff for whether you get a third term.

[–] Wilco@lemm.ee 2 points 2 months ago

They can word it however they like. They will never get two thirds from both the house and senate.

Trump knows this, so he is going to try and "cheese" it and have Vance run with Trump as VP, hope they win, and then have Vance resign.

  1. Vance is gonna fuck Trump over if this happens.
  2. Trump is excluded from being the VP, he can't go on the ballot.

He may also try some "Speaker of the House" fuckery. Dictators are gonna try and dictate.

Trump knows that if someone tries to take office illegally then that person can actually be attacked as a domestic threat to the Constitution ... and it is perfectly legal for any US citizen to do it.

Made in China

[–] disguy_ovahea@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

$50? No wonder he’s negotiating with Xi now.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 11 points 2 months ago

... swastika on your forehead.

Mansonesque forehead carvings are next.

[–] Gowron_Howard@lemm.ee 10 points 2 months ago

It would be hilarious if the Chinese companies making these shitty swag items cut him off.

[–] nxn@biglemmowski.win 10 points 2 months ago (2 children)

I think an application of some orange face spray would do well to complete the look:

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Ask yourself, "would your founding fathers approve or disapprove you bear macing a wanna be king of America in the fucking face." Then just follow your heart.

[–] Hideakikarate@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

It really isn't hard to extract pure capsaicin from peppers. Slap that shit in a bottle with alcohol, get a pressurized sprayer, and then let 'em have it.

I was hoping 1946-2025. He’s going to destroy everything good in this world by 2028

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

When will they start selling armbands?

Hmmm. Good point. Seems like they're leaving something on the table here. Guess it's time to get a website up and running.

[–] Audacious@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

Wouldn't be a bad idea to buy some of the nazi stuff if you are considering of doing any goodtrouble behind lines.

[–] itsgroundhogdayagain@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

What really evil stuff is he going to do while everyone is outraged over a hat?

[–] Clinicallydepressedpoochie@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Apparently he's just walking around the white house lawn and lying about being in trade talks with china while russia disrespects him by undermining peace talks.
