Trump just stated publicly that he thinks he has dictatorial powers.




“When somebody’s the president of the United States, the authority is total."




Here's a fun poll for Republicans:
"Do you agree with President Trump that the President has 'total authority'?"
"Will you be okay with a democratic President exercising this 'total authority'?"

By projecting lies to make his reality of himself look better, and to his followers, then exaggerates the lie a little more then repeats it. He wants a dictatorship by claiming he has absolute power, and is claiming he's king now. The GOP are criminal for enabling this to continue, especially Moscow Mitch.

He absolutely thinks his power has no limitations!

It wouldn't surprise me if he ties to eliminate this years election.

This is getting more frightening day by day!

and has had it all along. But we've been keeping him in the dark about it.

If he ever goes up to the top of tRump Tower and jumps off, he'll see he's always had the power to fly around. Then we'll really be in trouble.
