I'm a dictator...Sometimes you need one - he said it

[malaise]

At the 2026 World Economic Forum in Davos, President Donald Trump reflected on his leadership style, stating, “I’m a dictator… but sometimes you need a dictator.” He emphasized that his decisions are guided by common sense rather than political ideology, claiming 95% of his approach is rooted in pragmatism.

Trump also praised business collaborations and highlighted positive reviews of his recent speech, framing his leadership as practical and results-driven.
This video captures the moment Trump discusses his approach to governance while addressing world leaders and business elites.

1. He has the dick part down

[patphil]

2. He's fundamentally transactional in his approach to life.

It's only common sense from his point of view. And then only if you agree with him.
In reality it's pure nonsense. Grade "A" 100% pure bovine excrement.

3. "Only on Day#1."?

Joke! Correct? Thought so.

4. I tried to watch it all. I made it half way.

He is a terrifying genetic mutation. Never been anyone like him. Not in recorded history, maybe 100 years ago, but not in the last 67 years, since they have been recording history.. 😧

7. I too stopped

and cleaned the fridge to calm down😀

10. I think you misunderstood, malaise.

We're looking for something shorter, not longer.
Speaking only for myself, anything over 10 seconds or so from him is unbearable. I shouldn't allow him to get under my skin like he does, but nothing I've tried can prevent it. He's just so repulsive!
You're a peach, malaise. Thanks for posting.

11. I watch the madness

So I don’t miss a word. I rarely watch his lengthy mad rants but will listen without watching while exercising, cooking or cleaning.
It’s hard work.😂

[SergeStorms]

12. Extremely hard work.

And I'm glad others have the constitution to withstand that horror of an individual.

8. "...his decisions are guided by common sense..."

LOL. His decisions are guided by spite, greed, petulance, and nothing else.

[malaise]

9. You left out abysmal

Ignorance.
All of Europe laughed at his historical ignorance today.

13. He wasn't the first. Dubya also wished to be a dictator

The point is, if something has to be done by being a dictator, then the doer and his or her team is weak in policy and stratagem. It shows that the team is incapable of finesse: the team is just a troglodyte with a heavy tree limb, thinking that swing the limb around will solve all the problems.

Where's all the creativity and human ingenuity?

[malaise]

14. The only things that drive these monsters are

belief in their superiority, power and wealth.

15. The way trump and tim cook were licking each others balls at davos just reminds me why I will never own an apple product

[MW67]

16. Sometimes you need a

Real Leader ,not an embarrassment in front of the world, maga are truly the "Jethro Bodines" of the civilized world, largest bunch of fuck ups ever assembled, he wishes he were a dictator ,instead of a painted clown running from accountability

17. Looks like he's decided to trade TACOs for FAFOs.

Go on now.

[malaise]

18. LOL

The headline of the day - the Art of the Concept of a Framework of a Deal😀
