Of course, they are always more than willing to sacrifice safety, security, and the quality of life for real Americans to make that happen.

Out of curiosity, what's a fake American?

I believe it is just an aspect of our nature as a social species arrived at via evolution. Lone human naked in the woods by himself is not a very impressive animal, get a few hundred together though and....

I tend to agree, but I sure would like to experience liberty for a change, no matter how scary it may be.

Loony Leftists have no sense of humor. Trump's dry humor requires a modicum of intelligence which explains their hysteria. He loves trolling them.

No he did not

Maybe ol' tRump just isn't so good with history.

The USA has had a number of presidents who served the remainder of their lives in office.

Words fail me. I eagerly await the Trump cultists excuses as to why a President for Life is somehow more democratic and just than the current system.

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.”

I am not sure I think Xi is great, I think maybe to the Chinese, he is great. This said, I don't agree or disagree with the statement. I think as long as the people want somebody, he should be able to serve more than 2 terms.

I believe that power is a corrupting influence and without democratic accountability authoritarians will walk into power.
