Just make it so normal that people accept it.

And for others they can say “he’s joking, like he was always joking”

    Pretty much.

    Anyone with half a brain cell knows that he is a pathological liar. And even worse than being a pathological liar, he’s a pathological “truth bender”. At no point is he lying, and at no point is he ever telling the truth. This gives him a method to worm his way out of any verbal snafu he found himself in. He learned it by emulating his sociopathic father, and he taught his children the same trick.

      The true mind can weather all the lies and illusions without being lost. The true heart can tough the poison of hatred without being harmed. Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light.

      In the era before the Avatar, we bent not the elements, but the truth within ourselves. To bend another’s truth, your own spirit must be unbendable, or you will be corrupted and destroyed.

    He doesn’t need to normalize it. Anyone demented enough to still support him wants him to be a dictator. The only difference is whether they can admit that to themselves or not.

      Seriously. He’ll absolutely use this as an excuse to boot. He’ll continue doing dictator things because his shitheel people will react so positively…

    I bet Putin joked that he would throw an opponent out the window once. I think it went well… for him

      In that case, let’s hope he’s an absolutely incompetent idiot who will fail fast and spectacularly or an old guy who will die fast, so that when he’s gone people all agree that this wasn’t a great political experiment and all join in together to rebuild the political system much better than before.

    Biden doesn’t need to say it, because he’s already a puppet dictator. #CTIL-Files

    Trump shouldn’t say things like this. Useful idiots on the spectrum can’t discern when he is joking. Everyone else should watch the video and see if they honestly think he was being serious. If you do, then you probably also agree with Joe Scarborough on MSNBC that Trump will execute his opponents if elected. TDS is real.

      I have watched the video and if you think he wasn’t being honest, you probably are one of those people you mentioned that fall on the spectrum.

      He might’ve used the tone of a joke, but he’s been saying for a while now how he plans to “get back at those who wronged him”. Hell, he even said that the GOP is impeaching Biden only because “they did it to him first”.

      I am shocked people like you think he’s not being serious: he’s literally telling you.
