It's not like he said it verbatim, on record, multiple times right ?

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

The only one I'm aware of is him saying "sometimes you need a dictator" when criticized by other world leaders who called him a dictator at some global politics event thing- are there others?
His day one/one day dictator remark as well
In July 2024 Donald Trump told a crowd, "Get out and vote! Just this time. You won't have to do it anymore! Four more years, you know what? It'll be fixed, it'll be fine, you won't have to vote anymore."
Should have been thrown into solitary confinement the moment he said that shit.
That was the plan since he descended down his gold plated escalator.
We've been screaming that for years and it's happening, bit by bit the Untied States is committing another fucking holocaust, and nothing is being done to stop it
No shit.
And it's getting handed to him since he's too much of a moron to get there himself.
That is a soft soap. It's not the president, it's the party. The party has been working towards this for decades, half a century. Stop weak sistering it guardian. (although I appreciate you being there.)
I don't appreciate them being there. Them "reporting" on this is what allows everyone to be so fucking passive about it all. They don't even know what's happening because no one will say it directly. If charges are ever brought, this shit doesn't end until they're charged too for being complicit with all of this.
Isn't it already? It's not like anyone is really holding him to account.
Currently kinda the last hope of things being resolved through Democratic systems is the midterms. Ultimately, I guess we'll see how they play out
And when the midterms pass and Trump solidifies his dictator status, will something finally fucking be done about it?
If the midterms pass and hes unable to control them, the representatives coming in having a majority are the hope that something will happen to wrestle control back from him via democratic means.
Time will tell to what extent trump will be able to compromise the election, to what extent progressive candidates will gain a majority, and to what extent they exercise whatever level of control they get.
Duh, he said so.
