President Trump praised Chinas president for his recent consolidation of indefinite power and joked that he might like to serve as president for life too, according to a recording of a closed-door fundraiser which was obtained by CNN..... Those strongman moves, culminating in a grab for indefinite rule, are exactly what Trump whose wannabe authoritarianism is well established at this point admitted he admires. And Trump doesnt just look up to Xi.

In the first paragraph of the excerpt, what he said was a joke. Hillary lovers and Trump haters are ready to chuck the magazine in the virtual or actual trash.
But read a little further: Those strongman moves, culminating in a grab for indefinite rule, are exactly what Trump whose wannabe authoritarianism is well established at this point admitted he admires. And Trump doesnt just look up to Xi.
Well that's more like it! It wasn't really a joke, you see.

Some unfortunate occurrences in life are called snafus. Some of the causes of problems in life are credited to the Gremlin. All of stupid is caused by Democrats.

I think POTUS enjoys making liberal heads explode. It’s just too easy.

Key word - “JOKES”.
Rush played the audio on his show today. Trump was making other cracks - jokes - before this remark, so clearly it was a JOKE. Trump said the line in a joking manner. The crowed laughed loudly at the JOKE.
It was a JOKE.
Humor is lost on the left.

Yep. When the president “jokes” about something the left would hate, one needs to replace the word “jokes” with “Trolls the left”.

Not that we need more evidence of the hypocrisy of Democrats, but here is an article from The Hill from June 2016:
Majority of Democrats want third term for Obama:
Excerpt:
A strong majority of Democrats would cancel the 2016 presidential election between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump if it meant President Obama could serve another term, a new poll found. Data provided to The Hill by the conservative polling outlet WPA Research found that 67 percent of Democrats would take a third term for Obama over a potential Clinton administration.
Only 28 percent said theyre ready to move on from the Obama White House, while 6 percent are undecided.
From July 2016, US News and World Report muses on what it would take to repeal the 22nd amendment to allow Obama a third term: Four More Years? President Obama is on his way out, but if the 22nd Amendment were repealed he could serve another term.
Maybe it's just me, but I don't remember the MSM anguishing over the thought of Obama staying in office, they relished it! But when Donald Trump makes a joke about it, you'd think the Republic were coming to an end.
