Okay, if we assume that this pattern of psychotic jabber will continue, then one could assume that he might ramp his Fascist rhetoric up. And yes, his inner Fascist is really showing now. That is the applicable word to me: Trump is a Fascist and he has now made that clear.

If he could possibly suggest, (command?) ideas about seizing land and having government employees commit crimes at his decree, then why not seize corporations and companies? Why not start ordering the deaths of people who oppose you or are in the way?

Yeah, that may sound hyperbolic, but he already hallucinates that his pardoning power will be some sort of incentive here and seems to have no idea what the many ramifications are for anybody who would be able to suspend their better judgement to follow through on his "orders".

seems like telling people to break the law is an impeachable offense nt msongs Aug 2019 #1
