You mean like when Obongo made a Special Olympics joke?

People in certain positions should really refrain from "joking" about certain things.

Would you want your surgeon joking about how he could probably re-use unsanitized equipment from the last surgery without a problem, just as you were being wheeled into the operating room?

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."


The dictator wannabe strikes again.
Oh for gosh sakes, he's trolling, it's a freaking joke.

Sure, why not? It's just a joke.

No. You'd probably be freaking the hell out if that happened to you. A "joke" is not the first thing on your mind.

You need to listen to the clip of Trump making the joke. People were laughing.. it was very obviously a joke. It was Trump's backhanded way of criticizing Xi, and rather than supporting his criticism of Xi, the media criticizes Trump.

You or I would be saying that in sarcasm. He isn't. Watch it again.
Wait! I thought Trump didn't even want to be president?


You guys said:

He's running as a joke
He'll never be the nominee
He'll never win the presidency
He'll resign and hand it over to Pence after inauguration because he didn't want it and didn't think he'd win
....yet somehow worked with Russia TO win...make up your minds...
He wants to be dictator for life


You guys also kept predicting his doom after each time he trolled you and then you found out the bus just ran you over....and he's doing it again! ....And you're eating it up again! See...with repetition you CAN learn to do exactly what he wants!

Trump worships the likes of Putin, Duterte, Erdogan because of their thuglike tactics. Im fairly certain he secretly admires Kim Jun Un's God-like status in North Korea.
Yep. That's why I said I think he was dead serious.
