Notable figures popped up in articles expressing concern over a second Trump presidency, saying it could turn into a dictatorship. Then, the right wing responded by making fun of those dramatic libtards. But then a weird thing happened. Former President Donald Trump admitted that he would be a dictator for "one day" if he's elected to a second term in the White House. And you know, there are no such things as two-day dictators. When will the media learn that when Trump says something about himself, he means it?

After a backlash, -- from the left, the right doesn't give a shit -- Trump took to Truth Social to explain that he was funnin' around about his aspirations of becoming a totalitarian assclown.

"Fake News writer Peter "Obama" Baker of the Failing New York Times (READERSHIP & SUBSCRIPTIONS WAY DOWN FROM THE GOOD OL' TRUMP YEARS!), whose claim to fame is that, "he will never write anything good about the GREAT job President Trump did," just wrote, in a major, front page story, that I want to be a Dictator, but doesn't mention it was said in a joking manner, and completed with "but only for a day, because I'm going to close the Border, and DRILL, DRILL, DRILL," a much different attitude and meaning!" he breathlessly wrote.

There is nothing funny about a dictatorship. And for Trump to claim that he wants to sink our free country into tyranny to build his wall that Mexico never paid for and that he occasionally claims was completed on his watch, perhaps he should take a class on presidenting. President Joe Biden could teach that class to Lumpy. As Vice President for Obama, Biden had to run across the other side of the aisle to agree to certain things to pass bills. You don't just throw a chessboard over while kicking and screaming and expect that that just secured a deal. That didn't work for the former House Speaker either.

Shorter Trump: Nice country you have there. Be a shame if something happened to it.
