    As much as I find it silly that they are even clapping back in the first place I kinda like this better than last time. Trump has always been a troll, but I think we’ve already found out that taking the so called “high road” doesn’t do shit against him. Might as well try and beat him at his own game if we’re gonna be playing playground games for 4 more years. I’m just hoping Trump isn’t serious about his insane ramblings this time around.

      He has no one holding him back anymore, doesn’t have to worry about releection (one way or another) and is at death’s door. He will definitely try to do a lot of terrible shit, more than last time.

        He also has the other two branches of government on his side. He can get away with pretty much anything and he doesn’t care about the law. None of them do.

        A third term would not be off the table… this is how any other dictator started off… once elected, change the rules about term limits. Heck he might even want to rebrand the term dictator and make it a good thing

          What’s the difference between a king and a dictator?
          How you’re remembered.

            Originally, dictator was just ordinary political position in the Roman Republic given to temporary magistrates to deal with state crises. Until it was abused.

              It’s sad that he even influences our behavior here on lemmy. What are the majority of posts about? Trump…

              I don’t want this man in my life, goddamn

                Like it or not, he’s about to be put back in charge of the world’s most powerful military and possibly about to crash the biggest economy. Plus the whole starting new genocides and supporting old ones thing. It’s kind of a big deal and you probably shouldn’t ignore it.

    I like that we’re starting to speak Trump’s language - i.e middle school shit - but this one wasn’t clever enough to sting I think

    Funny because she and her party were aligned with trump since the past term, their bots were also defending and singing praises for trump, they are already bending over to what is to come… Oh but she clapped back, that matters so much…

    I would be ok with renaming the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of North America.
