    Trump had four years to become a dictator. He started his term with both the House and Senate on his side. But then he stepped down in 2021 after the election.

    People were saying the same things about him then, and it turned out false. What makes this time different?

          Calling the Georgian governor and looking for 20k votes wasn’t trying?? What the fuck did you smoke to come to that conclusion?

          January 6th, combat by fire? Hang Mike Pence?

          Nothing?

              1. wouldn’t have mattered the ceremony would have taken place regardless of trumps involvement as the people have already voted

              2. he would have been laughed at

              3. that is ILLEGAL as American military can NOT be used against Americans

              4. 10k guards would have been overkill and a waste of taxpayers money. Trump and his chronies inticed the J6 riots. Who knows if this guy is even being truthful anyways?

              Trump is a known liar, cheater and total POS.

              If he cared about the people he wouldn’t be going on and lying about his croud sizes. The man is a narcissist and only concerned about himself

                1. Yes, but if he wanted so badly to keep power, I’m pretty sure he wouldn’t have shown up.
                2. People don’t laugh when the police/military come enforcing it.
                3. If he’s a dictator, what does he care? He could have used the National Guard, by the way. No such restriction on them.
                4. Do you really want to call protecting Congress “a waste of taxpayers money”? And lying under oath is a pretty serious crime, especially given Trump was no longer President when the interview happened. Why was this interview suppressed to begin with, anyway?

          He’s got Project 2025 in his pocket this time and will fill all possible government roles with people who will work to dismantle democracy. The first time was a chaotic shitshow. If he wins again it will be a well organized shitshow which is far more terrifying.
