The Atlantic: Donald is Losing His Mind

[TLK Valentine]

Trump Is Losing His Mind

Donald Trump’s descent into madness continues.

The latest manifestation of this is a report in The New York Times that the president is weighing appointing the conspiracy theorist Sidney Powell, who for a time worked on his legal team, to be special counsel to investigate imaginary claims of voter fraud.


As if that were not enough, we also learned that former National Security Adviser Michael Flynn, who was pardoned by the president after pleading guilty to lying to the FBI, attended the Friday meeting. Earlier in the week, Flynn, a retired lieutenant general, floated the idea (which he had promoted before) that the president impose martial law and deploy the military to “rerun” the election in several closely contested states that voted against Trump. It appears that Flynn wants to turn them into literal battleground states.

If Donald Trump declares martial law and installs himself as Supreme Leader of the United States for life, it will mean the end of democracy in America. Indeed, our constitution won’t have any meaning anymore. But ask yourself this question: is that really such a bad thing?

Frankly, I’d rather have Donald Trump as dictator than have our country suffer through 4 to 8 years of a Biden presidency, which would surely be far worse for America than a Trump coup d’etat. Come to think of it, I can’t think of anything that could go wrong in such a scenario.

Yeah, it is.

It would be the worse thing. End of the Republic, and another civil war to get it back.

The only question is when. Before or after Trump's death or leaving office.

Wow. I literally cannot even.

Impressive trolling.

This^^^ post walks the razor's edge between satire and serious. I give up. Congratulations.

You really need to study economics. Trump was given a recovering society and he was about to drive it back into recession, Covid or no Covid.

Me neither.

And what's most disconcerting to me about his post is that he is probably serious in his conviction. I sincerely hope not but I can never tell with some Trump supporters when they spout off like that.

I take it back. Around here that line is more like a six lane highway.

The appropriate response to this statement is not permitted under the guidelines and limits of this message board. Knock off your insurrectionist fantasies, or at least stop pretending they are anything a patriotic American would ever contemplate.

It ain't gonna happen. LOL this is just nonsensical off the rails rants.

Donald Trump would never be a dictator. So it ain't gonna happen.

Do you also believe that setting aside the Constitution is a desirable alternative to Biden taking office?

Donald does not and will not put aside the constitution ,but liberals do and are doing that IMO.

Considering that nothing short of martial law and all-out fascism is going to stop him from being the 46th president, then yeah, I'd say the other guy is a drastic improvement.

So that will be your excuse, that the "liberals" have already done it?

Not bad satire, but you tipped your hand when you said "4 to 8 years" -- True Donald supporters believe that he'll step down and let Harris enact her evil female socialist agenda.

You cannot be a Trump supporter and a patriot anymore. Everything the sludge has done to stay in office since the Election, every lie about fraud, every baseless lawsuit that was thrown out of court, every attempt to incite rage from his slobbering, stupid base, has been purely and uniformly anti-American. It’s sedition, plain and simple.
