Donald Trump spoke briefly to reporters at the White House Friday morning and revealed something about himself that is both frightening and consistent with his past displays of tyrannical aspirations.
While engaged in his morning ritual of “Executive Time” (aka sitting on the toilet and disgorging himself via Twitter), Trump noticed the scrum of media outside and wondered aloud if he should go out and visit with the hosts of his favorite Fox News show, Fox and Friends. So, unsurprisingly, he did just that. But when he got there he managed to blurt out something that surely represents his most inner, and most despicable thoughts. Speaking enviously of Kim Jong Un’s unquestioned adulation by the oppressed people of North Korea, Trump said that:
“He speaks and his people sit up in attention. I want my people to do the same.”
Trump says he wants people to treat him like North Koreans treat Kim Jung Un.

And there you have it. Donald Trump is now openly lusting for the sort of obedience that only dictators can muster. It’s a thoroughly repugnant and un-American notion. He needs to be told that the citizens of America are not HIS people. They are his bosses. He works for us and is not entitled to blind devotion.
That’s especially true of a president who is under investigation for traitorous collusion with Russia for stealing an election. Also for criminal fraud with regard to his phony charity. Also for paying hush money to an adult film star who he had an affair with just months after his wife gave birth to his son. Also for breaching the emoluments clause of the Constitution by receiving money from hostile foreign agents. Also for obstruction of justice.
Americans are, in fact, sitting up and paying attention – to the criminality, dishonesty, bigotry, and ignorance of the grotesque perversion that is (temporarily) occupying the White House. He will never have the admiration of the vast majority of citizens who are justifiably ashamed that he is representing this nation. But not for much longer.

He’ll have to settle for the genuflection of Sean Hannity, because he’s certainly NOT getting that from US. No other president got this, no other president would ASK for this, and Lord Emperor Drumpfy is not even a real president.
Hannity needs to wipe the drool off.
Isn’t he going to have to build a lot of gulags to gain the respect he’s looking for?
He’s already doing that for immigrant children. They could probably be expanded.
Everyone should keep this in mind:
We know who the REAL traitors to this country are. And never forget, the Sith Lord also likes the idea of being President for Life, which he stole from President Xi of China.
What will it take for Reichwingers to see Their Beloved God and Master for what he is? Don’t answer that question. 🙂
Very astute analogy, Kali…
