Donald Trump says he will be a ‘dictator’ only on ‘day one.’ Then he’ll focus on drilling.

  1. Hey, hey! He’s lying! Guys I got him, I finally got him!

  2. Yeah, because you can always trust someone who promises he will stop being a dictator after a day

  3. So we’ve reached the point of him openly talking about his fascist tendencies. Wonderful.

    If you vote for this man again, I hope his enforcement squads find their way to your home first.

  4. This is what MAGA wants. A dictator to kill and imprison every American who doesn’t pledge loyalty to their pig king. With very few exceptions, post Trump conservatives are enemies of the American people

  5. Dictator for a day. Sounds like a game show. Except for, you know, the shitty prizes.

  6. Of course he’ll never focus on drilling. His Saudi and Russian masters would never allow that. He’ll just flail around blindly hurting people and maybe hitting golf balls for another term and everyone – even he – knows it.

  7. “All these stunts I’ve pulled and threats I’ve made, they’re just because I was scared. I didn’t mean it baby. I’ll change I swear if you just give me one more chance. I didn’t mean to give you that black eye, I just get so mad when people make all these false accusations. It won’t happen again, you’re my ride or die.”

  8. “Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will. Find out just what any people will quietly submit to and you have found out the exact measure of injustice and wrong which will be imposed upon them, and these will continue till they are resisted with either words or blows, or with both. The limits of tyrants are prescribed by the endurance of those whom they oppress.”

    ― Frederick Douglass

  9. He doesn’t want to have to do this, baby. But America, you brought this on yourself. Please learn your place and he won’t have to correct you.

  10. The right wing is just insane. Does he mean the oil companies are going to drill for more oil to lower prices? They have enough leases to do that now and they could build more refineries. They haven’t and won’t. They like oil at this price and maybe higher.

    Morons.

    Oh and the dictator part… He said it.. He means it.

  11. Phew, I only need to flee the country for my safety for one day. What a relief. /s

  12. He’s not going to be President again. The narcissist can’t accept failure so he keeps on talking as if he will be back in office. Not happening. So deluded.

  13. “In these Sentiments, Sir, I agree to this Constitution, with all its Faults, if they are such: because I think a General Government necessary for us, and there is no Form of Government but what may be a Blessing to the People if well administered; and I believe farther that this is likely to be well administered for a Course of Years, and can only end in Despotism as other Forms have done before it, when the People shall become so corrupted as to need Despotic Government, being incapable of any other.”

    – Benjamin Franklin – Closing Speech Constitutional Convention 1787

  14. The headline is as deceptive as tRumps promise. His declared dictator activities are closing the border and drilling for oil. Informed people know that borders being closed will not stop border crossings and that the US is drilling more oil now than it did during his term in office.

    He did not actually admit to what he will likely do, he told his dumbass base what they would expect to hear from him.

  15. As he said about Xi, “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.”

  16. How a large portion of Americans made this man their entire personality will be one of the greatest mysteries of this time period as folks look back in history classes fifty or more years from now.

  17. World famous phrase here. Once a dictator, always a dictator. I’m honestly surprised he’s still going from place to place. If I say why I’d get banned so I won’t but still.

  18. Anyone who says they want to expand drilling is essentially saying “I want to kill you all for the benefit of corporate profits”

  19. He is incoherent and speaks like a child, and the audience is loving it.

    Hannity of course is willingly licking taint the entire time. smh.

  20. Let’s see.
    – Refused to acknowledge voting results.
    – Refused to follow established protocols for handing over presidency.
    – Kept and hide state secret documents after departing. Refused having any.
    – Countless lawsuits tied to alleged voter fraud. Dismissed due to lack of proof.
    – Multiple threats to politicians, assigned investigators, news outlets, judges, and more.
    – Belongs to a party that’s already posted their agenda (Project 2025) which literally shows how they plan to bypass most of the checks and balances tied to a presidentship. This includes turning multiple unpartisan branches into GOP snake nests.
    – Has during his entire presidency fawned over known modern dictators.
    – Has multiple times reverted to both Nazi and dictator dog whistles.

    I’m still surprised you haven’t thrown him in supermax prison for treason.
    Alter his skin, gender and/or political party, and he would have been there years ago.

  21. He acts like we’re not already energy independent and at the best point we’ve ever been with oil and gas…

    IE, drilling does nothing for us. It’s refining that’s important for us.

  22. He’s just telling his base what they want to hear. We’ve lost just under half of the country to fascism because they fear that they can’t get their way anymore.

  23. Does Trump know that Biden has drilled more than any past presidents? What does he want to drill?

  24. This happens every time administrations change parties. It’s the political pendulum swinging back. There’s **always** a raft of Day 1 EOs, sometimes they are illegal and require the courts to stop.

  25. If he gets any votes at all, America is just over. Make it make sense.

  26. When are sheepole going to wake up and realize this guy’s an idot?

  27. Trump will make Hunger Games a reality instead of a movie.

  28. Benedict Orange will fellate Putin on day one by pulling the US out of NATO.

  29. Did anyone see the actual quote?

    He said on day one he’ll be a dictator by closing the boarder and drilling for oil. Then after that he’ll stop ‘being a dictator’.

    That’s not being a dictator. Prosecuting your political opponents IS. And that’s happening right now.

  30. If Trump wins, he will, in relatively short order, declare himself emperor, and republicans have shown quite clearly that they’ll eagerly goose-step behind him.

    The mistake that he, and all his followers make, is believing in their heart of hearts that an autocratic takeover of America will be easy and quick.

    Humans are not especially obedient as a species and American humans in particular are culturally hardwired against obedience. If Maga prevails next fall and Trump sends the military into cities to ‘put down’ protests, he will be declaring war against the people. And the people will respond.

    And no, it won’t be on an open battlefield with guns, it won’t be the live action version of Call of Duty. The resistance won’t look like anything the maga set fantasizes about. The resistance won’t be seeking to win a war, they will seek instead to burn it all to the ground. Which, given the relative vulnerability of our infrastructure, will be an achievable goal. The oldest and most effective weapon of mass destruction is the intentional and systematic deprivation of food and water. A standing army of even ten million soldiers is useless against two hundred million hungry and dehydrated humans spread across the entirety of our land.

    The maga dream of a totalitarian takeover is a child’s fantasy. The truth of that plan is that Maga-land will never know peace or prosperity. A failed United States will look very much like Eastern Europe after the fall of the Soviet Union or the modern day Middleast. Fortunes based on the US dollar will evaporate, the global economy will crumble, and as life sustaining resources become scarce, social order will devolve into chaos. In the US alone, tens of millions will die as violence and chaos reign supreme in a land made impossible to govern or control by sheer size of both the landmass and the population.

    This is the brutal reality of the myopic and utterly fantastic plans that the political right have hatched against democracy.
