Scarborough: Republicans “Fools” to Think Trump Joking about President-for-Life

Back in 1964, historian Richard Hofstadter wrote “The Paranoid Style in American Politics.” If the book is ever made into a movie, Joe Scarborough could be cast in the title role.

For on today’s Morning Joe, Scarborough contended that President Trump was speaking seriously when he said that we might have “to give a shot” at the establishment of a president-for-life in the United States.

Scarborough:

“This is important. When Republicans, Gene [Robinson] are saying it’s just a joke, or when Republicans ignore the fact that this man is talking about being President-for-life. If they think that Donald Trump is joking, then they’re fools. And I don’t think they’re fools.”

Day after day, alone on a hill
The man with the foolish grin is sitting perfectly still
Nobody wants to know him
They can see that he's just a fool
But he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round

His head in a cloud
The man with a foolish grin is talking perfectly loud
But nobody wants to hear him
They can see that he's just a fool
But he never gives an answer

But the fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round

Stalinists lie. Always

It’s known as subtle humor, something that intellectuals indulge in. Also called irony, or saying the opposite of what one obviously means.

But these pretty-face media types hate Trump so much that they see every word of his as a way to destroy him, so the thought of humor does not enter into their heads.

But when one of their own says something, they rush to call it a joke, humor, playful, etc, because they would lie, cheat or steal to protect their man.

I never imagined that there could ever be a bigger idiot on TV than Olbermann, but Joe managed to not only exceed Olbermann’s idiocy, he set the bar higher.

The Chris Sisters over at CNN (Chillizza and Cuomo) are a close second but Joy Reid adds the racism angle which also adds to her idiocy.

I work with a guy who boasted he watched those two every morning.

I haven't thought about him the same way since.

Revisionist history about Reagan.

Lies to Millennials. What’s it matter, anyway? They weren’t there and the Com-Left is their utopia, their god, their wet dream.

We already had a POTUS for life once. FDR.

If Trump declared himself dictator, the fake news media would be dead within a week.

The faggotry from these lying drama queens is old and tired.

Meanwhile they show not a bit of concern for the billion Chinese Communists living under a dictatorship with a president for life.

“...the establishment of a president-for-life in the United States.”

Well Joe...If it’s Trump, I am good with that. Have a great day.

Scarborough is a “Fool” to Think Any Honest Person Takes His Opinion Seriously

[Celerity]

I just checked with my wife. And on Facebook it’s rampant - the articles EVERYWHERE saying he is calling for this.

Yet Facebook does not tell the user that this is fake news.

The Morning Joke

How can anyone take this clown seriously?

Sometimes a joke is just a joke.

Trump was joking but he wouldn’t mind being president for life if the situation came up

To be fair, if Obama was in office and said what Trump said, most of us Deplorables would be as perturbed as are the snowflakes. Indeed, here is a post in that spirit about Obama where we got our knickers in a twist. Further, here is a post questioning whether Obama is plotting a coup that got 113 responses.

So, be kind to the snowflakes. In fact,we should ENCOURAGE their fantasy...tell them "actually, this is just a ploy to get his kids elected...we will have Trumps in the White House FOREVER." Truthfully, I think Trump does this kind of stuff for strategic sport, to watch people lose their minds as part of the Cheese in the Maze strategy. Break out the popcorn.

“How the hell is TRUMP going to be President for Life if Congress doesn’t pass a Legislation for it? “

Simple. Trump urges Congress to pass meaningful, comonsense gun confiscation, once that’s done he simply declares himself Prexy For Life and that’s it.

In fact,we should ENCOURAGE their fantasy...

We should point out that the liberals want to ban assault rifles, and that they are doing so to make sure the people are defenseless when Trump declares he is President For Life.

Of course we shouldn't tell them that Trump meant he was a pro-life president, unlike those before him.

FDR. Democrat. Been there. Done that.

Yes, but Trump would have years of prosperity instead of an 18 year Great Depression.

I thought it was the other way.
