Trump: I have the support of the police, military, and tough people who don't play tough... until a certain point, then it will get bad

Actually some people prefer propping up a rich person like Trump. The problem Trump has is that he needs the support of those who directly lead all these armed groups. He'll have that support from some police and most militias but he doesn't have support from anyone at the Pentagon or our intelligence agencies.
He doesn't have enough support to even attempt staying in office one extra day.
Actually I believe that the Secret service is with him for only for a limited amount of time after the presidency. I want to say it is like 8 years or something.
Pretty sure they were with Bush to the very end

It was something that happened around the time W was in his second term. I want to say that him or Clinton are the hast to have lifetime secret service members so it would not effect George Sr.
I actually found it. It was the Former Presidents Act of 1997, which changed it to 10 years. Then it was changed back to lifetime in 2012.
I'd love to see Trump tossed out like Philip Banks used to toss Jazz out of his house on The Fresh Prince.
If you'd told me that was a quote by Duerte, Putin or some other dictator i'd have been 'shocked' but not surprised, because that there is a mobster like threat, from the president of the united states! And still the cult of Trump thinks that Democrats are destroying democracy and Trump is saving them, the really are the woods voting for the axe because of its handle aren't they?
Man's never fucking got within hailing distance of any biker anything in his life.
Ever since Patton Oswalt pointed out how Trump always talks about "manly tough guys who are really tough and rough!", in a way that makes him sound like a cheerleader talking about her macho boyfriend, it's all I ever hear, and it's really amusing to me.
Like, I get that he wants to posture like a mob boss, but this bizarre fixation of bragging about how he knows, or is surrounded by, really tough men "who are not so nice and oh, did I mention that they are real manly men?" just comes off as the most fey, mincing thing ever.
It's really quite something, and always makes me smile.

None of it's funny
None of it's a JOKE
The goal is use every last bit of right wing violence as leverage. Fox knows it, Trump knows it, they know it anywhere Rupert Murdoch sells newspapers. This is not going to become less frequent, nor is anyone on the right going to stop humanizing and normalizing violent white supremacy.

More radicalization disguised as "Patriotism." This dude tries so hard to give off this persona of someone who rules with an iron fist and is no nonsense, problem is he is a complete moron. Every time he opens his mouth he manages to out-stupid himself from the previous day.
How anyone, ANYONE, can listen to him speak and think he's well spoken, intelligent, or even has half an idea of what is happening around him is downright perplexing. Then again, I suppose racism and bigotry is a language I'm not fluent in and that's why I don't understand.

Scary thing is, HE doesn't have to. His words are enough to spur some of his fanatics on to kill what they perceive as his enemies.
