In order for a man to become a dictator the military and a large part of the population must support it.
No doubt, and it is baffling and frightening that this guy is now the nominee of a major political party. This is why we can't be silent. This election is important.
But honestly he is strating to scare the hell out of me.
The thing is he is starting to behave more and more like putin and I think that his ultimate goal is becoming an Anerican version of putin.
The great thing about the USA is that, the people always came first and not the government or the president.
Or to use the great Thomas Jefferson's words :
"When the people are afraid of the government ( like in Russia or China or North Korea or Turkey ) there is dictatorship , when the government is afraid of the people ( and I add, as should be the case ) there is freedom ".
Bingo... we have a winner.
Welcome to the light.
I don't like Hillary, but Trump's strange behavior and pathological inability not to go for the pettiest of attacks on everyone around him at the slightest hint of his feathers ruffled is an indicator that the guy harbors some unique psychological problems. And I mean that very, very seriously.
You think this guy is going to defend the rights of his opponents to free press and freedom of expression? Don't bet on it...
Forget Democrat, Republican or Independent. Just listen to his words. You want that man with the most powerful position on earth?
I have a kid. I DO NOT want my kid growing up in a world where Trump is in charge. Holy crap, that would be scary.
And I don't even like Hillary. If you don't want to vote, then don't, if you want third party, fine, but PLEASE don't vote for Trump if you have any functioning brain matter. Seriously.
Hows he going to win if he backs out of debates and has no money or financial support? Members of his own party giving him the throat slash? Sad year for the republicans.
It will become a scary world if Trump becomes president. He will start wars and set off nukes.
I keep seeing people post that. I would like to hear someone explain their thinking behind saying that.
Do you think the other two branches of government, senate and congress will just poof pow be gone once he is elected.
It could definitely happen. You don't need the other two branches of govt. to start wars. You could nuke another country without seeking approval of Congress or Supreme Court.
And it already happened MANY times, throughout history. Germany, Italy, Spain, Russia, all had strongmen elected to office under a "democracy" and in all cases these strongmen became brutal dictators, despite solid systems of checks and balances.
He was NOT JOKING. There was no laughter.
"And the reason they won’t let them in is because they don’t know what the hell they’re doing,” Trump continued. “Hey, maybe they’re a Hillary person. Could that be possible? Probably. I don’t think there are too many of them.”
“Then you wonder why we’re going to hell,” he said. “That’s why we’re going to hell.”
Bankruptcies are sometimes necessary and a smart business decision. Your statement shows your complete lack of knowledge about how big business operates. You are just repeating BS you have heard others say with no understanding behind your statements
Open mouth, insert foot...
"Open mouth, insert foot." The motto of Mr. Trump. When he loses the election, he should take his life and businesses to Russia; since he seems to adore Putin. I am so tired of all the hate and venom that comes spewing out of the mouth of Trump.
He has proven time and again what a bully and bigot he is; being a bully does not mean he has strength and character; it just shows that he has no empathy or feelings for anyone but himself.
