The time lines of America elections confuse me a bit. Is he campaigning for the election itself or is this still the point where his party (the democrats?) are choosing their candidates?
It’s still the primaries where the candidate for the parties are being picked. trump is part of the republican party but is likely to receive the nomination because apparently we learned nothing during the four years this trash ran the country, took foreign money, insurrection, treason, etc.
Thanks. With all the articles I thought I’d somehow missed him winning the nomination and we were on the actual election campaign.
Your elections are normally in the autumn aren’t they?
I forget exactly when the primaries end, but this is preparation for this year’s election in November.
“I promise. I’m just going to put it in a little bit. It won’t hurt. Just a little bit”
Yeah… We’ve all heard stories like that and we know how those stories ended…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Former president Donald Trump on Wednesday again vowed to seize dictatorial powers if elected to the nation’s highest office once more but attempted to walk back his frequently made promise to exact retribution on his political enemies during a second term in the White House.
The disgraced former president, who is currently facing more than 90 felony charges in four separate jurisdictions and is scheduled to go on trial in March for attempting a coup to keep himself in office after losing the 2020 election, promised to spend his first day of a second term ruling as an autocrat during a town hall broadcast on Fox News ahead of the first-in-the-nation Iowa caucuses.
He also attempted to turn back Democratic criticism of his intention to be an autocrat by describing reporting of his pledge to rule as a dictator “on day one” as a “new narrative” meant to paper over a poor governance record by President Joe Biden, his successor and likely general election opponent.
The ex-president again complained about press coverage of his prior remarks, accusing media outlets of failing to report that he’d limited his dictatorial ambitions to his first day in office.
Mr Trump’s participation in the Fox News town hall comes just days before he expected to win the Iowa caucus, which he lost to Texas Senator Ted Cruz during his first run for the White House in 2016.
And despite his frequent promises from the stump to turn the machinery of law enforcement against top Democrats, he told the television audience that he wasn’t planning on weaponising the government to punish his enemies, though he also said “a lot of people” would say doing just that is “not so bad”.
The original article contains 719 words, the summary contains 285 words. Saved 60%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Oh, so he only wanted to be a dictator for the FIRST day. Got it, sir.
That anyone supports this fetid fecal stain is beyond my comprehension.
it was hard to believe anyone supported him before… but now it’s surreal…
feels like a weird nightmare…He revealed that significant Americans are also fecal stains. Anyone who supports Trump at this point is dead to me.
100%. It’s not political anymore, it’s moral.
I’ve been on the outs with my dad since 18 (36 now) but over covid didn’t block him when he sent a friend request on fb. I ended up blocking him due to a comment he left on a post and my aunt bitched me out for blocking him over “politics.” The comment? “those protesters wouldn’t be a problem if we just gunned them down.”
Last time I saw my best friend from high school, he called me a libtard for describing my one stop shop healthcare at the VA and mentioning I’d like everyone to have that simple experience of - See doctor, run tests, get meds, go home.
These are people I just don’t fucking want in my life. Everyone screeches about cancel culture, no you’re just a tedious asshole. Like with the comedians, crying about cancel culture to sold out stadiums. No you’re not being canceled, there’s just only so many ways you can make the #OneJoke of “trans women are men LULULULUL” before it gets old.
Trump delenda est.
The USA is a shithole country and you cannot change my mind
