On Tuesday, the president remarked on accusations of being a dictator, stating that he would stop crime. He then noted that some individuals have expressed they would prefer a dictator if it meant crime would be eradicated. This was the second consecutive day the president had made such a suggestion.

Trump Suggests People Might Want A Dictator For The Second Day In A Row.
Well, here we are again, processing the latest pronouncements from the former President. It’s almost become routine, hasn’t it? Donald Trump, on two consecutive days, has floated the idea that some Americans, perhaps even a significant number, might be open to the allure of a dictator. It’s the kind of statement that used to be relegated to the realm of fantasy, but now it’s just… another headline. It makes you wonder, doesn’t it, how we got here?
We’re at a point where the phrase “at least the trains run on time” doesn’t even feel shocking anymore. It’s a chilling echo of historical justifications for authoritarianism. The suggestion, the subtle implication, that maybe a strongman, someone who can “stop crime,” is what this country needs. It’s like he’s testing the waters, gauging the temperature, seeing how far he can push the boundaries of what’s considered acceptable discourse. This is a clear indication of the direction he’s considering taking.
It’s tempting to dismiss it as another outburst from a man known for making outrageous claims, but the repetition is what really gets you thinking. This isn’t a one-off gaffe; it’s a pattern. He’s openly considering how far he wants to go, and how far he believes he can go.
Some people, it seems, genuinely believe in this. Perhaps they believe in “stopping crime” at any cost. Some say these folks are labeled “traitors” or “insurgents,” or even “Trump voters.” The lines have blurred, and the boundaries of acceptability have shifted.
It’s hard not to feel like the media is becoming desensitized. The constant stream of pronouncements, the normalization of the outlandish, it’s all contributing to a sense of weariness. It seems he’s trying to normalize something that should be unthinkable, as if he’s testing the waters, seeing how far he can push it.
There’s a sense of history repeating itself, a feeling of déjà vu, a reminder of the principles upon which this nation was founded. Remember the war fought to avoid dictatorship? This is a far cry from what many fought for, and what this country represents.
The comments regarding what he said for the second day in a row makes it abundantly clear how serious this is. Not just the second day, but it’s the 50th time he has talked up being a dictator. The comments regarding a desire to “end the war in Ukraine and be a dictator” make it clear it’s all taking longer than he thought.
It’s time to call things what they are. The constant provocation by Trump to his own followers, his desire to make himself the sole head of everything in a country, is beyond the realm of sanity. The constitution is being openly defied, and he calls for a “dicktator ship”.
Some see this as a sign that MAGA is a cult, but people have to recognize that this is not a joke and that this is reality. There are those who are waiting for Trump to provide an order to start killing. It’s a dangerous game, and the stakes are higher than ever.
It’s time to question why this has not been challenged. The consistent defiance of the constitution and the calls for dictatorship are not going away. The constant provocation must be addressed. The media must do its part, it is time to hold accountable those making such remarks.
The comments, “And I want a less fat president, damn predator” should not be taken as the norm. It should never be forgotten, in history class, that independence was declared to avoid a dictator.
