Trump in new tweet: Do you think the people would demand that I stay longer than 6 more years?

[highplainsdem]

So now he's casting the possibility that he'll refuse to leave even in 2024 as something "the people" might demand...


Two-tweet thread bashing the NYT and WaPo, with those words in the second tweet:

A poll should be done on which is the more dishonest and deceitful newspaper, the Failing New York Times or the Amazon (lobbyist) Washington Post! They are both a disgrace to our Country, the Enemy of the People, but I just can’t seem to figure out which is worse? The good.....


.....news is that at the end of 6 years, after America has been made GREAT again and I leave the beautiful White House (do you think the people would demand that I stay longer? KEEP AMERICA GREAT), both of these horrible papers will quickly go out of business & be forever gone!

[radical noodle]

1. SIX years?

Does he not know how long terms are?

[highplainsdem]

5. He means six years from now, or not quite six years. He's still calculating two years left in this

term, plus four after re-election.

He's been talking in quite a few speeches about six more years in his presidency, and this is one more suggestion that he thinks he should stay on past the two-term limit.

[radical noodle]

35. Yeah, I got

the part about staying longer (until Jr or Ivanka can take over, in his mind). Ugh!

[rownesheck]

2. I wish

he would go out of business and be forever gone.

[pdxflyboy]

3. I think millions of people

Hope and pray that he drops dead within the hour.

[katmondoo]

12. I am one of them

[zanana1]

24. I don't wish him dead.

I just don't want him re-elected. I think that would hurt him and his sycophants more.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. I do.

[3catwoman3]

30. So do I.

Several times a day.

With his crappy diet, sedentary lifestyle, and constant anger and negativity, how has he not croaked already?

[ProudLib72]

33. I do, plus his progeny

[Moostache]

34. I want him to die as painfully as possible from natural causes...

Preferably he will simply keel over and die soon from a cardiac event, but anything else natural that leaves him cold and stiff and gone forever will suffice. He is a boil on the ass of humanity, and the sooner it is lanced, the better...

[Hong Kong Cavalier]

43. First thing I check every morning in the news

Is if all of those quarter-pounders finally did him in during the night.

[Botany]

4. How much longer are we gonna have to put up with this ass?

"The Enemy of the People" is straight out of Josef Stalin's mouth.

https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/aug/03/trump-enemy-of-the-people-meaning-history

Donald Trump’s repeated use of the phrase “enemies of the people” in his attacks on the media has stoked anger and fear not only because of general concerns that he is demonising a pillar of American democracy, but because of its echoes of totaliariansim.

The phrase has old roots, even appearing in a Shakespeare play, but it became well known in the 20th century when it was adopted by dictators from Stalin to Mao, and Nazi propagandists, to justify their murderous purges of millions.

Stalin was perhaps most closely associated with the phrase, which successor Nikita Khrushchev specifically denounced in a landmark speech after Stalin’s death, which he used to begin dismantling the dictator’s poisonous legacy.

snip

In fact the phrase was first deployed in a modern political sense during the French Revolution, allied with a form of another favourite Trump phrase, “fake news”, according to the New York Times.

[Eyeball_Kid]

14. Stalin needed cover for murdering close to 20 MILLION of his own citizens.

Trumpy WISHES he had that kind of power. And let's remember, he'll do whatever he can get away with to WIN. If everyone else is a loser, what's the difference between a live loser and a dead loser? To him, nothing. He doesn't care.

[Botany]

25. Look @ how hard Trump tried to cover up Saudi Arabia's crown prince's murder of ...

.... Khashoggi. Or that he also turned a blind eye to Kushner's help to the Crown Prince
in carrying out the killing.

[Rhiannon12866]

42. Stalin wasn't actually Russian, he was Georgian

I visited Soviet Georgia many years ago and was gobsmacked at how many statues of Stalin there were there - so I asked why. And I was told that Georgians still loved Stalin because he killed so many Russians. The anti Russian feeling was palpable since they were forced back then to be part of the USSR, despite the cultural differences, even a different language.

[lindysalsagal]

6. Every day we don't impeach we are complicit.

[Botany]

13. Yup! We have the proof and Trump has admitted in public that he has and will in the future sell ...

... out America. Impeach his ass already and if the Republicans in the Senate want to stand
up and for that treasonous bastard, let 'em.

[Eyeball_Kid]

15. The GOP is along for Trumpy's ride. They aren't jumping off the wagon.

Were it up to them, Trumpy would be full-on dictator, because that's what Trumpy wants. Whatever he wants is fine with the GOP. They have his back. Now they're in full-speed-ahead lying mode because they have to defend and/or support Trumpy's lies. All of them. This means that they're all complicit in Trumpy's attempt to turn his presidency into a dictatorship. It doesn't matter to them because they want to maintain power at any cost.

[Botany]

23. "It doesn't matter to them because they want to maintain power at any cost."

See Mitch McConnell.

Growing up I either knew in person a few or knew about some wonderful people
who were Republicans. Our next door neighbor in a middle class neighborhood in
PA was the county DA and his brother was Ray Shafer, Gov. of PA and a republican
too you would never meet a better man in your life but he would have no home in
the GOP today.

Again we our in dangerous times and we must expose these treasonous bastards
to the world. They win by cheating, billions in dark money, and washing millions
of Americans in disinformation after which those people think that snow is not cold,
water is not wet, and that it doesn't get dark at night.

The Democratic Party should move on from trying to get certain voters support. If
owning a gun, gay marriage, or climate change isn't real then those voters are gone
however we are the majority and we have to focus on election integrity because ever
since HAVA (help america vote act) the red state shift in the vote has been massive
but it does not reflect the changes in the demographics and how the majority of Americans
feel about the issues.

7. Ignore the fool

He just wants attention

[highplainsdem]

18. I'm sure part of it is he's just seeking attention, but I also think that he's afraid to leave

office if there's any chance he or his crime family will be prosecuted.

I don't believe it ever crossed his miniscule mind that he'd be investigated this much.

My guess is that if he can't figure out some way to stay on, he'll want Ivanka or Moron Jr. to run in 2024.

[Andy823]

21. Exactly

The only ones that would want him to stay on are his brain dead base, and they are less than 30% of the country, if that. I also think by this time next year, more people are going to think twice about voting for him, even some of those who "did" vote for him last time.

Right now he is just being an ass looking for attention.

[greatauntoftriplets]

8. The golfer-in-chief is certainly full of himself today.

I know maybe three people who want him to stay for the next four years, but since we in the opposition don't matter that might be enough for him.

[JDC]

9. He throws that out there more and more

It's definitely on his mind and he is using his usual beta testing methods to "See what sticks"

[Eyeball_Kid]

10. It appears that Trumpy doesn't know that he's not immortal. n/t

[dalton99a]

11. 2024 tweet: "The people DEMAND that Trump MUST stay in the White House! OVERWHELMING CONSENSUOUS!"

according to RT online poll

[TCJ70]

16. "The people" didn't choose you to be there in the first place...

...moron.

[Cracklin Charlie]

17. He's like friggin' Carnac the Magnificent with his predictions.

Predict this, Assface...Cracklin Charlie DEMANDS that YOU leave the White House today!

[lpbk2713]

19. Oh, so we're on the road to being great again?

It slipped right by me.

[area51]

20. "It can't happen here".

[Wounded Bear]

22. Continuing to water the seeds of a lifetime presidency...

I imagine some people will, someday, demand that Trump stay in office past the end of his term. Hell, if we vote him out in 2020, we'll probably hear this same bullshit from the Trumplodytes, and I would expect violence, too.

We need to continue to fight.

[dalton99a]

36. And a dynasty

A criminal dynasty

[Wounded Bear]

37. Absolutely...nt

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

28. Trump tweets about the things that disturb him the most.

So through his tweets we know that what's eating at him lately are:

The New York Times and the Washington Post and most other non-Fox media
Not being re-elected, or he wouldn't obsess about keeping the WH for more than two terms
Being impeached
Joe Biden
Polls showing him losing to Joe Biden and everybody else

By his tweets shall you know him.

[Kid Berwyn]

32. Most of the people I know demand a life sentence.

Personally, I believe the traitor would be getting off light.

[procon]

38. Trump wants to be crowned Dictator for Life.

Hinting that he won't leave the White House is shredding the whole concept of our peaceful transition of power in keeping with the Constitution.

Who needs any of that if Trump refused to walk away?

[luvMIdog]

39. OMG I'm dead serious his tweets are beginning to make me want to spew

That's it I need to get offline and away from hearing about that creep

[kentuck]

40. "Oh yes, Dear Leader !

Why should we even have an election? Let's just nominate you by unanimous consent? Why would anyone question your great leadership?

[TreasonousBastard]

41. A small footnote to this may be that when his consigliari Rudy was term limited as Mayor of NYC...

he suggested (demanded?) that he have some special dispensation to run for a third term since he was so necessary to the city's healing and rebuilding after 9/11. He didn't mention that he hid in a bunker while rescuers were dying in the ruins, but he didn't have to. Everyone knew.

The good citizens of New York wisely told him to suck it, just as they told him to bugger off when he tried to run for Senate and Governor. They then elected Bloomberg.

Doubtless Rudy is whispering thoughts in the Tangerine Wankmaggot's ear...

[LanternWaste]

44. Creepy trump is certainly full of...

himself.

Also: Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
