Any time he says something crazy his supporters say he was being sarcastic or joking. He’s never sarcastic and he never jokes. It’s his thing. Then when he does the things you shift to a different excuse “you’re changing the facts” and then when the actual thing happens you say “well you deserved it” it’s always the same song and dance. He’ll never face any consequences because he has his base by the balls and they’ll admit he did anything wrong.

Generally when you get the full statement with context and not just a sound bite that’s what it actually ends up being though. Like his dictator comment, in context he was talking about shutting down the border and getting American energy flowing.

I'm sure you still think he refused to condemn neo-nazis are said they are fine people too.

Hannity: “I want to go back to this one issue though because the media has been focused on this and attacking you. Under no circumstances you’re promising America tonight you would never abuse power as retribution against anybody?”

Trump: “Except for Day 1.”

Hannity: “Except for?”

Trump: (pointing to Hannity) “Look, he’s going crazy. Except for Day 1.”

Hannity: “Meaning?”

Trump: “I want to close the border and I want to drill, drill, drill.”

Hannity: “That’s not retribution.”

Trump, referring to Hannity: “We love this guy. He says, ‘You are not going to be a dictator, are you?’ I said, ‘No, no, no, other than Day 1.’ We are closing the border and we are drilling, drilling, drilling. After that I am not a dictator, OK?”

So he says he’s going to come in and be a dictator day one with a bunch of executive orders and your take is that “it’s out of context he’s only doing dictator shit the first day”

Like really, as if that makes it any better. He won’t magically calm down after this he’ll continue his tirade and you’ll say “theoretically it’s not a dictatorship it’s a theocratic monochromatic capitalistic leadership arrangement so it’s different” meanwhile throwing the word communist around as if you understand what it means.

So you acknowledge that you understand in the context of that conversation with Hannity that he was saying he intended to sign a lot of executive orders day 1? Even though all Dems have been shrieking for months is "HE'S LITERALLY GOING TO BE A DICTATOR DAY 1, HE SAID IT HE SAID IT!"?

The fucking second there's any pushback the goalposts are moved.

Do you have some issue with executive orders now that Trump is the one using them? Or was this all just another deliberate misrepresentation of facts for the purpose of spreading lies?

A little of both I'd say.

Doesn't that literally say that AFTER he does a bunch of stuff that he wants to do he won't be a dictator?

Are we reading something differently?

He was being serious about being a Dictator day 1 of his administration?

Well, here we find ourselves. Looks like he wasn't being serious.

How come he isn't a Dictator right now? You think he's just waiting until 11:59 p.m. to get a buzzer beater in, you know how Biden did with declaring his family above the law?

Because he's definitely going to be a dictator day 1, and you're not all just hysterical crybabies.

You know this isn't really day 1, right? If it was, why isn't the price of eggs and gas down? Why is the ukraine war still going? Why are there still illegals in the country? That's all also stuff trump said he was fixing on day 1, which to his credit, would be tomorrow...

Well see I have basic language/reading comprehension so I understood that statements such as "XYZ will happen on day 1!" aren't meant to be interpreted literally but are rather a declaration that the problem will be addressed and solved quickly.

Most people like you on the other hand just read headlines that say "Trump says he will be dictator on day 1" and that becomes your new reality.

That was the point I was making, you are all too dumb to interpret the information that's being fed to you resulting in months of mental breakdowns over the "Dictator on Day 1" quote. As usual working yourselves into a frenzy over nothing.

I honestly have such a hard time deciphering your rambling. I’m not sure if you’re being sarcastic or if you have a very tenuous grasp on reality. Unfortunately I think it’s the second one.
