Trump says maybe U.S. will have a president for life someday

[signalmankenneth]

Will never happen, we live in a democracy not a dictatorship!

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump says he thinks it’s great that China’s president now holds that office for life and muses that maybe the U.S. will do the same someday.

Trump’s remarks were met with laughter and applause during a luncheon for Republican donors Saturday at his South Florida estate. CNN said it obtained a recording of the remarks.

Chinese President Xi Jinping recently consolidated power. Trump told the gathering: “He’s now president for life. President for life. And he’s great.” Trump added, “I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot someday.”

Trump criticized his Democratic presidential opponent Hillary Clinton, repeated his view about “a rigged system,” and called the Iraq invasion “the single worst decision ever made.” He referred to former President George W. Bush as “another real genius.”

Someday Trump?!!

Someday, we might even have a Republican president that wins the popular vote and has the consent of the people.

Trump was making an attempt at being funny.

Since overall popular vote isn't, and has never been, how we elect a President, maybe someday you whining bitches will STFU about it meaning something.

Please learn how the system works and why it was put in place before you embarrass yourself again.

In 2012 Trump ranted and raved against the electoral college.

Yet you were completely silent when Jose Serrano (D- NY 15th) proposed repealing the 22nd amendment during the Obama administration.

In 2016, Hillary demanded Trump state that he would honor the results of the election. Why have her minions continue to bring up a type of vote that doesn't pick the President?

Who?

I think the electoral college is a good idea.. I don't care for populists.

My statement wasn't about the electoral college. The 22nd doesn't mention the electoral college.

Perhaps studying would be a good idea before you make stupid statements unrelated to the topic of mine.

If it's any consolation, I like the electoral college, too.

I think Trump was making an attempt at humor, because he knows he cannot pull it off here. But it isn't funny. Trumps humor attempts are just terrible. And Trump is exactly the kind of person who would want to do that.

Trumps admiration for despots is well known.

Jose Serrano (D-NY15) and those that supported him must love them some, too. Don't think it was a coincidence he proposed repealing the 22nd amendment during Obama's 2nd term in office.

 

[Cancel 2018.2]

He was clearly joking.

Why is he a dictator?

He doesn't make decisions by himself, they have their own type of Congress where people vote whether to make a law or not. What exactly is wrong with being a KGB officer?

Do you people even know what it is? KGB, CIA - same agencies with the same purpose.

Obama said the Cold War is history!

You think it's a legitimate election when someone gets 99% of the vote?

 

[Cancel 2020.1]

I can't really remember a President who had a more childish & ignorant understanding of what it generally means to be an American.

 

[Tranquillus in Exile]

He was clearly joking.

Like when he said he saw thousands of people in Jersey City cheering on 9/11? "It was on TV, I saw it." Lol, he's a card!

 

[Tranquillus in Exile]

Do you people even know what it is? KGB, CIA - same agencies with the same purpose.

Yes, I know what it was. The KGB was a military service governed by army laws and regulations, with around half a million members in 1991. Try again, tovarish.


P.S. If they wanted to bug you, they didn't need a FISA warrant.

Liar!

Putin received 63.6% of the vote,[4][5] securing a record third term in the Kremlin.[6]
