I wonder if one of the reasons Trump is so docile against North Korea, aside from Putin and the weird new "divide and conquer" regime, is that the plan has all along been for Pompeo and Bolton to pump their glory boners against Iran.  Trump probably thinks a flag waving frenzy against brown people will get his ratings up in time for an election.  

But Iranians are Caucasians. Iran means Aryan.

I check his Twitter every now and then in the mornings, and I get a good chuckle out of how thin-skinned and scared he is (he truly is the first aggy President), and then he retweets something like that.....

[spioler]It’s like watching Avengers Endgame, and it starts out optimistically, and then Captain America and Thor are killed within the first 5 minutes, and your mood changes, as you realize you’ve got almost three more hours of movie (18 months of Trump).

Just kidding, I know there’s like three people who haven’t seen it yet and they probably post in CR

that's the first test balloon that i've seen.  they're gonna see how it plays with the general populace.  if it picks up traction, it will start to form the basis for Trump not willingly leaving office if he loses the 2020 Presidential Election.

It's not the first trial balloon, it's at least the third. At least twice, Trump has "joked" that he would stay past eight years. Once he said he'd stay for 10 or 14 years, the other time he said he'd stay president for life. 

He can't leave office, he'll be criminally charged by NY at least.

President Trump on Thursday joked about serving more than two terms as president, telling a crowd that he might remain in the Oval Office “at least for 10 or 14 years.”

Trump made the comments on the same day that special counsel Robert S. Mueller III’s report was released to the public.

 

https://www.cnn.com/2018/03/03/politics/trump-maralago-remarks/index.html

In the closed-door remarks, a recording of which was obtained by CNN, Trump also praised China's President Xi Jinping for recently consolidating power and extending his potential tenure, musing he wouldn't mind making such a maneuver himself.

"He's now president for life. President for life. No, he's great," Trump said. "And look, he was able to do that. I think it's great. Maybe we'll have to give that a shot some day."

Can someone as stupid as grhorn grasp the various levels of stupidity in others? I think we're seeing the answer is definitely no.  Someone with this level of stupidity sees an equal or greater stupidity and wants to make it king.

I’ve touched on a) yes he is dangerous in some ways, but his worst instincts have been checked by other branches of govt. 

b) Republican members of Congress will turn on him at a moment’s notice once his usefulness is gone. Most of them have gone through a transition of power from R to D. Life will go on for them. Their jobs and perks are largely gonna be unthreatened. 

c) Both bases have stupidity. By far the most likely thing to happen will be a lot of teeth gnashing and crying and they’ll throw a big protest rally where people will wave guns around instead of wear pussy hats on their heads. “Resistance leaders” will then emerge to profit financially off the bitching and moaning and the cycle will repeat.

We've heard that for years now and it simply isn't true. The GOP has coalesced around Trump and will continue to support him no matter what. You will see post-Trump GOP candidates that will use him as the baseline for their agenda and policy goals. At least for a generation or so.

The GOP is post-dubya now and it took about a decade for that to happen. This is the example I'm going off of. Reagan was a complete outlier and his legacy lasted for decades past his term. 

Too soon to tell if Trump will have a Reagan-like impact but I think Trump will have lasting power. 

Sorry, meant to tag @GRHorn as well. Trump can be both useful and influential. Look at the 2020 GOP candidates and if they resemble Trump then I will be right.

You vastly underestimate how much he loathes this job. He is not quite free to do as he pleases - he tries, but he still has to pretend to work.   He has to deal with people who can tell him “no” and that he can’t buy off or make go away.  

And these people can investigate all aspects of his business and personal life, and reveal big chunks of it to the public.  

And if he loses the Senate, they can 100% wreck everything he’s built up until now.  

Speaking of the Senate, Republicans have their own agenda that is aligned with him for now, but the moment they perceive him as a liability, he’s finished, and he knows it.  So he has to get them happy, no matter how much he wants to wheel and deal with Democrats.  

And then he’s got all of these state investigations, brought on by this job. 

And arguably, this job has crippled his future prospects for things like bank loans with his preferred banks.

One difference is the lionizing of Reagan is probably partly attributable to the fact that he made R cool to younger people.  Trump doesn't do that.  There won't be any nostalgia factor in 20 years for him because all Trump's supporters will be worm food.

He may hate the job as it currently exists, but don't tell me he doesn't have a raging hardon for Lil' Kim and Putin's way of life.  Trump dearly wants to be able to execute his enemies on the front lawn of the WH, preferably using a tank gun.  He wants to be able to do nothing, act like he's doing nothing, and flaunt the fact that he's doing nothing while oligarchs feed him money and favors.

Today's young are waaaaaaay more left than ever before but the ones that are conservative are also more wildly conservative than anything I've seen. This is just my personal experience as a young guy. I would be interested to see polarization compared with age groups.

2018 was a surprise for a lot of them.  There are Republicans switching parties and facing serious competition that weren’t before.  Riding the Trump mushroom is getting dicey for some   

And he’s being investigated by the House.  

And Arizona, Wisconsin, Michigan, and PA flipped.  

It’s too soon to see the true fallout, but give it 6-9 months, and we will see how things are shaking.   Trump is scared shitless for a reason.

Considering they’re ignoring all the house subpoenas, I don’t think he has been very checked. But ok we can disagree on that point. But your argument that he will peacefully transfer power is based on the fact that the president says so many stupid, treasonous things that they can’t all possibly be true? And yet you still support him?! 

I guess I don’t follow the logic that picks and chooses which of all the insane things that trump says are true and which aren’t. What’s the criteria? What makes him not giving up the presidency more insane than the other insane shit he said he’d do that he ended up doing?  How can you be so sure that this one statement he won’t pursue? I honestly am curious On the rationale.

I don’t get why one would draw the line on this statement, let alone label others absurd for being wary of it especially when an official statement from the president literally advocates for it.

In my opinion, they act this way because they have fully convinced themselves that people are really only upset because Hillary lost.  They think the reactions to his traitorous behavior from non-supporters (sane people) are just libs crying over Hillary and there is really nothing to worry about because you can't take him literally or seriously or something.  It's really bizarre.
