⬆️ The wording of this cool-kid authoritarianism plus the fact that it’s on twitter just *stinks* of Elon Musk writing it. Musk is doubly vulnerable to getting Luigi-ed based on its Naziboy logic, so again, good one you posing fool.
He also posted it to truth social, and also I don't think Trump trusts or likes Elon enough to give him something important (control over his Twitter account)
This could be interpreted as similar to Cardinal Richelieu's letter in The Four Musketeers: "By my order and for the good of the state, the bearer has done what has been done."
I can hear him. "Oh. Oh. Type this one. He, uh, uh. He who saves, uh, his Country does does not violate any Law. Yeah. Pwned. Send it. Yeah. High five? No? Ok. Ketamine treat for Elon now!"
Yeah, Trump’s never been known for quoting people or being aware of who historical figures are. Didn’t he once talk about Frederick Douglass as if he were a present-day civil rights activist?
And now we'll hear a hundred-and-one excuses from the MAGA Cultists as to why Trump should, in fact, be allowed to become a dictator who's completely above the law. Those folks gave up on democracy the minute a black guy got elected president.
A convicted felon commanding America's police and military forces underscores a profound paradox: the guardian of law and order is himself a transgressor of the laws he vows to uphold. This juxtaposition challenges the very foundations of justice and democracy.
Seriously, the lack of thought put into these words is astounding. It's inviting extreme action to be taken by anyone with some notion of 'saving [their] country'.
Thank you for this comment. Everyone thinks it and are just too scared to say it. I'm one of the everyone. My hope is he will piss off the drug cartels in Mexico, and they will take care of both problems, Orange Boy and his Pastey side kick.
A quote ascribed to Napoleon Bonaparte, who launched a coup against the French Republic and installed himself as First Consul and later Emperor of the French Empire. ....Hopefully it won't be long before DT is exiled to St. Helena too.
Trump's claim that "saving the country" justifies any action dangerously blurs the lines between lawful conduct and criminality. This rhetoric can incite individuals to commit unlawful acts, believing they're patriots.
Does this make it open season for violence?
On both sides?
