Trump says he'll be a dictator only 'on day one' if elected

Donald Trump has said that he will not become a dictator if he becomes US president again except "on day one", after warnings from Democrats and some Republicans that the US was in danger of becoming an autocracy if he wins the 2024 election. Fuck, well at least he's honest on this statement

Despite his relatively old age, [Cincinnatus] worked his own small farm until an invasion prompted his fellow citizens to call for his leadership. He came from his plough to assume complete control over the state but, upon achieving a swift victory in only 16 days, relinquished his power and its perquisites and returned to his farm.

Anyone who wants power, shouldn't have it.

Lol

At least we can trust he will give himself a deadline to step down

The heat death of the universe is technically a deadline, right?

If he goes down that's fine by me too, all I'm saying is that I am not that kinda guy and I don't care much either way
