He was asked a direct question from a reporter if "he should stop tweeting" and he was explaining that that was his form of communication and that in fact, Facebook it was equally as important and why he's number one on Facebook. Thank God, because the lying liberal media make up lies all the time about our President, lying about things he never said, or they manipulate his words, they deliberately edit, t twist his words, or say "a source told them" . The lying liberal media is going to be held accountable in November and the Dems are going to lose by a landslide.
Nah, modern dictatorships are all about eliminating people considered threats, maintaining loyalties among your inner circle by threatening their families and making sure your OWN family is involved in the ruling structure. And preserving close ties with the military. I don't know why you think raw intellect is necessary to become a dictator. Men like Stalin and Hitler were masters of human psyche who understood how violence and fear opened the doors to power. Saddam Hussein wasn't brilliant. He was a thug who seized and held power through brutality and murder. Kim Jung Un is no great mind either. He was born to power and maintains it through military loyalties and murdering his rivals. You can't really compare being a dictator of a country to being a mafia boss. There are too many links to power in a country that are benefited by a autocratic strongman leading the government. Trump knows what it takes to become a dictator and every day he takes incremental steps to consolidate his power. Not saying Trump is going to be successful, but right now he's probably the most powerful POTUS we've ever had.
You realize you're listening to a mafioso who's trying to rep himself. There isn't much sophistication when the core element of your business model is murdering your rivals. Trump spent much of his adult life directly and indirectly rubbing elbows with actual NY and NJ organized crime figures. And he knows enough to find out those who are loyal to him and eliminate those who aren't by getting them out of government. He's got one entire political party afraid to speak out against him, a Supreme Court with a conservative majority and a third of the country okay if Trump became president for life.
Your critical thinking skills are sorely lacking. You read any kind of drivel on the internet that makes Trump look good/Obama bad and you eat it right up. President Obama declared H1N1 a public health emergency before anyone in the United States died https://www.politifact.com/factchec...ent-obama-declared-h1n1-public-health-emerge/
You're delusional. You must don't know about Carlo. He didn't have to "rep" himself at all. Politics play a limited role in dictatorships. The mafia is a dictatorship and Carlo was one of the best to ever do it. The man was undefeated. Not much sophistication?? You don't think murdering your core rivals is a core element to dictatorships??
How about you address your sorely lacking critical thinking skills. That quick speech Obama gave before he golfed was that he was putting a cabinet together, NOT that he was declaring a National Emergency. That day, he told people to not worry, just wash your hands and that's pretty much it...he did nothing different than what President Trump did prior to declaring a National Emergency. Again, Obama did NOT declare A NATIONAL EMERGENCY until 6 months later and thousands of people had died. So no, AB, this wasn't "drivel I ate up" because I followed the CDC timeline of everything that was done under his administration from the first report of the H1N1 outbreak until his N.E declaration 6 months later. Here, if you don't believe me... Obama declares H1N1 emergency October 26, 2009 8:47 a.m. EDT https://www.cnn.com/2009/HEALTH/10/24/h1n1.obama/index.html
Read this again. LOL What do you think happens in the mafia? The mafia is a government within a government. With that they have even more threats and it often requires even more savvy than dictators that have their own countries to govern. You're talking to someone that has studied both. I don't make assumptions. You consider Dotard a master of the human psyche? Saddam was a crafty strong man, you weren't paying attention there. His biggest fault was not being a good military strategist but how he attained power and kept it was savvy. Kin Jung Un is a false equivalence. His entire country has been brainwashed for many years. That's what religion does. It makes things easier for the ruling dictator.
Dude dictators do it. You really think murdering your enemies is that easy? They can kill you. Sure Beavis and Butthead can kill but there is a lot more than just murdering people. There are many more factors. You have to get close to them for one. If you kill them before the right timing their allies could kill you. There is power dynamics, spy games, strategies, developing loyalties of others. ect....among politics and money. If it was as simple as murder then the top hit men would always run the mafia, they didn't. If you understood everything that Lucky had to do to become chairman of the mafia and reconstruct it and run the national crime syndicate, and run New York like a king. You would look back at this post and laugh.
Again, you don't READ. Obama declared H1N2 a PUBLIC HEALTH EMERGENCY on April 26, 2009, when there were only 20 swine cases nationwide and no deaths. A couple days later he made a request to Congress for $7 bil in aid for a vaccine and research funding. H1N1 was declared a global pandemic by the WHO on June 11, 2009. Obama called H1N1 a public health emergency SIX WEEKS before the Word Health Organization called it a pandemic. 6 months later, Obama declared H1N1 a national emergency after 1000 Americans had died. Regardless, what the fuck does ANY of this have to do with Trump and his response to the corona virus?? If Trump hadn't been running around earlier claiming COVID19 was a hoax perpetrated by Dems to hurt his reelection chances, people right now wouldn't be so critical of him. Trump is the POTUS. He's the ONLY one responsible for finding a solution.
Just saying, running a country without the luxury of murdering your political enemies is much harder than running a criminal syndicate. I feel like you're elevating the mafia and organized crime into something they weren't. They were nowhere near as powerful or influential as the drug cartels in Central and South America, which basically run some countries.
We were talking about whether or not Trump was 'smart' enough to be a dictator and somehow you brought the mafia into it. My point is still the same, it doesn't take great intelligence to be a dictator because they're allowed to utilize a tool all democracies cannot, the ability to murder their rivals and citizens in general. You forget that most dictators govern through fear, not intellect. I guarantee you more mobsters fear Gambino than respected him, and at the core of that fear was potential retaliation against them. Trump knows how to use the weight of the federal government to make himself richer. He knows how to threaten other countries to get political dirt on his rivals. He especially knows how to solicit help from a rival nation to help him win an election. As of right now, Trump has made himself the most powerful POTUS we've ever had. I think he could handle being a dictator.
You couldn't answer the question. What dictator doesn't kill? As a dictator 45 would have to kill people right here on American soil. That takes balls and smarts to pull off and survive, avoiding death and jail. You down played the mafia while having no idea of how much money they made. Their economy was bigger than that of a small country. It's a government within a government. This is about being a dictator. They all kill. It takes savvy to retain power as a dictator and 45 doesn't have it. He understands leverage but that's about all. It takes much more than that.
Why not both. You're crazy. Fear also comes from knowing that he wasn't a dumbass. Otherwise you could just have killed him. He wasn't immortal. Bro you need to read more.
Not to mention that the mortality rate for H1N1 is much, much lower than the mortality rate for COVID-19. Whenever people pull the whataboutism card out of their asses, they always seem to leave that part out. Same goes for the flu, which also has a lower mortality rate than COVID-19.
