(16,129 posts)Look at who he admires: Putin, Erdogan, the Kim Jong Un...the list goes on, all are dictators who have zero accountability.
I could add Netanyahu to that list, since he never seems to lose any power no matter what he does either.
He wants what those other guys have....a permanent hold on power and zero accountability.

(47,471 posts)They think they can get richer under Trump.
They don't understand Trump will throw them under the bus as soon as he is done using them.
He will want a cut of their profits.

Toddlers have loads of responsibility and accountability. Theyre expected to pull themselves up by their bootie straps and get to work at the first breath.
I dont know why everyone thinks that the SCrOTUS will let an interloper into their exclusive gig.

(47,471 posts)They don't want to give anyone more power than they have.
But Trump will deliver their Christian GOP dogma to the populace.
And prevent the left from working for the people.
We shall see how they thread the needle to their benefit.

(33,222 posts)Sharing ultimate power with someone who doesnt share power. Thats why they are floating futuristic hypotheticals.
If it were some GOP Establishment Approved drone, their verdict would have been rendered before it was even brought before them
But, you know. Trump. They dont like the guy either.
They do want all the powerz, though. What to do? PUNT!
