He wasn’t kidding. He’s still not.

I’m not one of his “people”

Never was

Never will be

Do not “obey” in advance

The only time I will sit up & pay attention is when I read his obituary

Then I will stand up & celebrate “Liberation Day”

itsecurityninja.bsky.social•33 days ago

No he isn't. The authoritarianism of Putin, Kim Jong-un and Xi has been mental masturbation for him for years.

jenhoffman.bsky.social•33 days ago

This is what I do when he speaks. I skim his interviews in writing for any ounce of a cohesive thought. It's usually disappointing.

seankaprelian.bsky.social•33 days ago

Trump wants complete fealty to stroke his extremely fragile ego.

vernsmind.bsky.social•33 days ago

He has so many words but very little to say

captain-corona.bsky.social•33 days ago

His people never experienced freedoms we all know. And his people aren’t armed to the teeth with a strong sense of independence.

Half of America will tell Trump to Fuck off and gladly die to do it.

Trump can’t win when half the country wants to fight and see him dead.

Tough 💩 what he wants. Ain’t happening here.

p3nny.bsky.social•33 days ago

We pay attention. We roll our eyes, grit our teeth, sigh, hit ourselves in the head with our fists, etc., etc., etc.

gijoke.bsky.social•33 days ago

I can't even see his face anymore when that ugly mug is next to an article I want to read. I try to scroll that rotten thing off the screen so I can read without feeling like throwing up.

teachers88.bsky.social•33 days ago

The problem is, he’s a clown! 🤡

bradleygoodson.bsky.social•33 days ago

He doesn't understand that Americans are not HIS people. He is their employee

judylatorreartcom.bsky.social•33 days ago

We know. that is why I voted for the highly qualified woman of color. Kamala.

dltd.bsky.social•33 days ago

Yes. Enough signs but nobody paid attention I guess. https://bsky.app/profile/dltd.bsky.social/post/3lgm2ppn3k222

There's a reason that whenever he's praising Xi's intelligence, the example he always gives is "He rules over a billion people WITH AN IRON FIST."

Which of course is not a marker of intelligence, but of brutality.

kushnerpandemic.bsky.social•33 days ago

He should be careful what he wishes. We’re all paying attention now.

perejes.bsky.social•33 days ago

Two sentences that are burned into my brain, especially the reference to "my people." We can't say we weren't warned.

I'm not "his people"

badgator.bsky.social•33 days ago

I always sit up and pay attention. Then I say, "WTF nonsensical shit he rambling on about now?"

freethinker65.bsky.social•33 days ago

And with all of the vindictive hideous cruel crap Trump's doing, and the corruption in broad daylight, still not enough Americans are paying attention.

bigemedic.bsky.social•33 days ago

On the one hand, I am confident that this will never happen.
On the other hand, I'm terrified of the literal destruction Trump will unleash trying to make it happen.

Who are the “my people” trump is referring to? The news projects his voice out every day. He’s a total embarrassment. If anything, his words are warnings. Save America!

jeffrudd.bsky.social•33 days ago

He has to keep himself awake first!

nomorex61.bsky.social•33 days ago

When Trump speaks, I change the channel. Literally, but then I’m Canadian.

farseeing.bsky.social•33 days ago

I mute the volume

“my people” ???

Well we’re not!

King dumbshit lives in his own wet dream.

blondeandcraxy1.bsky.social•33 days ago

I will never sit up or give this man a second of my time.

jefdmin.bsky.social•33 days ago

I will never, EVER, "sit up" for him.

havethet.bsky.social•33 days ago

Thank God I'm not his people.

lovesmaine.bsky.social•33 days ago

He also said Orban rules his people with an iron fist and the magats cheered.

joni2labs.bsky.social•33 days ago

Of course he’s not just kidding. He is a brutal bully and this is the country he is setting up for himself.

zasutrex.bsky.social•33 days ago

I recall this quote. It haunts me

lfeatfan.bsky.social•33 days ago

Trump refuses to accept the idea that the people in the US are not like people who have been living under a dictator for years. He's not going to realize that vision but will never admit it to himself or anyone else.

robhawes.bsky.social•33 days ago

That's a crucial quote. Shows his mentality and desire. Gross.

lizzke.bsky.social•33 days ago

One house in our neighborhood, who since his first election, has flown multiple Trump flags, even adorned their roof with lights to spell out FJB during Christmas. In a strange turn of events, there is no longer even one flag flying. From full on Trump, to NOTHING. Things that make ya go hmmm…

bobbiefoleypitkin.bsky.social•33 days ago

I call that progress!

limoniana.bsky.social•33 days ago

Depose the King and restore the Constitution.

onetinsoldier61.bsky.social•33 days ago

He will NEVER have that.
