If the shoe fits...
So using this definition about Trump:
Suspensions of elections and civil liberties - nope
proclamation of a state of emergency - nope
rule by decree - nope
repression of political opponents without abiding by the rule of law - nope
one party state - nope

So no relation to our great President Trump...fools

Trump is obviously more of a wannabe dictator. It certainly is odd that he compliments, admires and looks up to dictators, but treats our allies like crap. Most of the other dictators are much brighter than he is, though. He also treats the other 2 branches of government like crap. He definitely wants to be a dictator and he definitely acts like one.



T is for Trump and T is for Tyrant.

So many here don't seem to know who Abby Huntsman IS.

She is the daughter of Jon Huntsman, current Ambassador to Russia, former Ambassador to Singapore and then later China, former Governor of Utah, former presidential candidate.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Huntsman_Jr.

An eminently REASONABLE INTELLIGENT MAN, and one of the FEW reasonable Republicans who knew the value of win-win. I really like Jon Huntsman, always have.

And.... thoroughly enjoyed Abby when she was the 'conservative' cohost along with three other liberals on one of my favorite (now cancelled) MSNBC afternoon shows "The Cycle." A quick, smart, intelligent show with the 30 somethings. I really enjoyed it.

So Abby, after a short stint on CNN, landed at Fox and, that joke of a show F&F. Sorry, it came to that for her. She's way better and smarter than those clowns. I think a bit less of her for selling her soul just to be on air. She knows better.

That was definitely a Freudian slip. Jon Huntsman has all kinds of class. I can just imagine her family dinner table conversations with the current boor and idiot clown in the WH.

Her father would have been SO MUCH BETTER. But, he's too classy, too nice, too intelligent, a little too short - and not quite charismatic enough for national politics.

And the US is the big loser for being so shallow.

You haven't really listened to Trump speak in his usual gibberish manner, have you?

Trump is signing EO's faster than Putin could say "I want our constitution changed so I can be president for life."

Nope nothing....but the thing about liberals is that they can be 0% accurate as they are here and most places and they don't care if they say something false as long as it appeals to their emotions which in fact have been manipulated.

Again proving, liberals are incredibly ignorant and they don't care.
Of course we will not allow this inept Putin puppet to do so, but Trump is so enamored of dictators that he very badly wants to be one.
