Trump jokes about serving 14 more years ...

Donald Trump has launched a bizarre attack against Democratic presidential contenders in a series of tweets in which he joked about serving another 14 years in the White House. “The Fake News Media will ... all be endorsing me at some point, one way or the other when I ultimately leave office in six years, or maybe 10 or 14 ..."

Mr Trump has repeatedly joked in recent months about serving more than two terms as president.

"Could you imagine having Sleepy Joe Biden, or @AlfredENeuman99 or a very nervous and skinny version of Pocahontas (1000/24th), as your President,
rather than what you have now,
so great looking and smart,
a true Stable Genius!" Mr Trump wrote.

Mr Trump started his rant by touting an upcoming social media "summit", which will see a series of right-wing figures attend the White House, in part to discuss an unfounded conspiracy theory social media companies are suppressing conservative voices. The US leader said "big subject" for discussion would be "the tremendous dishonesty, bias, discrimination and suppression practiced by certain companies."

All he needs is the military on his side and he is putting people in place to support him. Anyone miss Mattis yet?

At least Democrats will have a lot of dry powder stored up after the election.

he's saying it over and over so that when he signs that executive order declaring himself president for life, it doesn't even make a ripple.

Bush said basically the same thing. Dictatorships are bad, unless you are the dictator.
