It's easy. Just refuse to leave and nobody will do shit about it except complain, as always.

Because of cause he would say that eventually. A boring dystopia indeed.
Did they ask him why? I know he's wanting it, I want to know his justification for it.
Immunity from crimes. Always has been. Although the lust for power is bigly too.
Immunity from crimes. Always has been.
Is he ready to say that quiet part out loud though? Actually nvm, he did. He just calls it "injustice"
This isn't a boring dystopia thing. It's many things, but it's certainly not boring ):
The boring bit is that I'm not the least bit surprised that he said that. other aspects of this dystopian timeline are certainly less boring.
He's been saying this for months at this point, and it was part of Project 2025, which he seems to be following like a computer runs code.
Stop listening to his words and report what's actually happening, news media
He's the president of the most powerful country on earth. When his words are "I'm seeking a dictatorship" they are news.
Exactly. Our media is absolutely spineless.
It should be breaking news, the US has fallen to authoritarianism. Trump is a dictator, etc.
They are not reporting the news accurately. But then again, the media currently serves the billionaire class.

That would take an amendment to the Constitution, which requires 2/3 of states to ratify. He has a better chance of taking it by force than by law.
~~There is an exception for wartime... Fuck~~ Nevermind. I checked and that was false.
I’ve seen that sentiment floating around, so you’re not alone there. Good on you for verifying!
Trump isn’t supposed to be able to assume office according to the constitution being an insurrectionist and all. The document doesn’t say a damn thing about total presidential immunity.
The constitution is meaningless.
That would only apply had our court system not failed us in convicting him before the election.
It’s not even a court anymore, it’s a bootlicker parade in wacky dresses.
Sometimes. It depends on the judge, which is a problem in itself, being that the law is not partisan. Boasberg has been working insanely hard to uphold the Constitution in his court. We should recognize the ones that put their duty above money or loyalty, and replace the rest.
I'd say don't give them any ideas, but I'm sure that force has been on the menu for a long while now.
PS: next, Trump will complain that a 2/3 majority for constitutional changes is cultural marxism or some such. I called it!
Some guy pitched it as "Vance runs with Asshole as VP, wins then resigns. Asshole is prez again." Of course this requires Vance not having ambitions of his own.
"Some guy" in this case is Trump during the interview with NBC btw - that's exactly his (first) plan
Ah, thanks. I only saw it in passing on socials.

“The White House has become an adult day care center” Republican Senator Bob Corker
Dude looks like grim death now. They'll already have to Weekend at Bernie's him from 2026-2028.
Even if old age gets him, Vance becomes the acting president, and he's every bit as evil while not being quite as senile. I highly doubt the MAGA cult is going to die alongside Trump.
Trump chose the most feckless, least charismatic person ever as VP specifically so he wouldn't show him up. He's evil, all right, but no way he'll be able to inherit Trump's cult.
IDK they seem pretty darn unable to agree on anything besides how much they all love Trump. There's no Republican politician who is anywhere close to his equal. There is no obvious successor. Seems like a strong possibility of a power vacuum when he dies.
Cults rarely survive a leader transition, especially ones based so fully around an individual rather than specific ideals. The cult will die, and the support will fracture, the underlying issues with the Republican party that allowed it will still be there.
Agreed. And it is not necessarily good news - this might turn into chaos quickly.

There were early rumblings of making it a Trump Dynasty, which would be easier than transitioning to Vance (in the event of a third term, where they probably will run on a false ticket of Trump/Trump).
