Every damn day. “Is this a fucking joke or real?”
I mean Alcatraz? Gulf of America?
I feel like he watches TV and his pea brain decides “I think they should have…” Next thing you know, executive order.
No no, that’s how it is. Fox will run a segment saying “some people say….”, then Trump shits it out on Twitter, then Fox runs the same segment again, saying “the president says…”
One time the turnaround for this was 90 seconds.
What was the thing that had a 90sec turnaround?
A dumb inflammatory remark about trans women. I don’t remember the exact one, sadly.
So we need to flood channels with shows/movies about a misunderstood president with sinking approval ratings that makes the ultimate sacrifice, taking everyone in the room with him, who just happen to be every billionaire in the world.
Also serves as a loyalty/obedience test AND gives him an excuse to punish anyone who disobeys. Tow the line or be targeted. Then when the real fascist shit starts you've slowly eliminated anyone with the balls to resist.
