Donald Trump has described at length the dangerous and disturbing actions he says he will take if he wins the presidency.
His rallies offer a steady stream of such promises and threats — things like prosecuting political opponents and using the military against U.S. citizens. These statements are so outrageous and outlandish, so openly in conflict with the norms and values of American democracy that many find them hard to regard as anything but empty bluster.
We have two words for American voters: Believe him.
You know what I would do if I was president?
Curl up under the desk in the oval office and cry because I have no idea how to run a country.
Just say yes to 75% of things, read from the prompter, and shake hands
What about a little insurrection? You know, as a treat?
Because of the original commenter’s pfp and instance, I’m now picturing a furry insurrection and its kinda terrifying.
You’d be doing better than some past presidents at least
Wasn’t there one that died, like, a week into office because he was too cool to see a doctor or something dumb like that?
Nah, he saw a doctor, but because it was 1841 the treatment for his flu/pneumonia/septic shock from the White House having tainted water was: bloodletting, forced vomiting, opium, laudanum, and brandy.
If I was President I’d be taking so much anxiety medication and sobbing regularly over how difficult it is to do it ethically and to create lasting improvements to the country while everyone demands my soul in exchange for their vote in favor of necessary changes to our society, especially of the environmental sort.
