Can you imagine how the Republicans would react if Joe Biden says that he is going to do the same thing. I think the would lose their minds.

[gosmarte]

All he has to do is use google to translate Putins playbook. He wants to be like Xi and Putin which is President for life. Make no mistake, that is exactly what he wants.

Trump should be in prison not the white house

[RealSantinoblack]

This man baby is not gonna be satisfied until he becomes a dictator

[paulgray]

He has consistently praised dictators around the world. He would love to remake America in that model.

Textbook example of NOT "Draining The Swamp"

[dianagross]

No surprise to those of us who are paying attention

[venissawashington]

He wants to be a dictator what a CONMAN he is.

What would the US look like in 2025 with Trump in the White House?

Russia.

[s.p.kooltrain]

He wants to be king and if we're not diligent he will be king. Then, along with the democrats, republicans will have to deal with the monster they made. Vote Blue!

[Enkarashaddam]

Small government eh... sounds like YUUUUGE government

[donclark]

Ron DeSantis has expressed the same sentiments.

[cocoatmidnight]

This news turns my stomach. To think that if Trump is elected again, he will rule our country as a king. Sickens me. Vote 💙💙💙

Presidents are not emperors… dictators… kings..

[Hansprivate]

So this is the face of “small” government?

[eskiltester]

There's a name for that... fascism

[ernestmastiwonga]

He also forgot to mention that it will be required for all citizens to hang his portrait in their house, and all their wages will have to goto the maga fund, because he's the only one that can keep us safe.
