Trump Living Up To His Claim That He Would Be A Dictator

[Hymie]

A number of Trump's unconstitutional Executive Orders have been challenged in the courts, with some already handing-down rulings ordering a stop to the actions of the Orders.

 

But in this video, the presenter points out that if Trump just says 'I disagree with the court ruling' and continues with the unconstitutional actions, the courts have no means/power to stop him.

 

The parallels with Trump's actions and those of Hitler are alarming - a warning from history.

List some parallels

Give him time Clone,Hymie is still kissing Putin and Xis backsides.

[THECORBYLOON]

If you watch the video, the parallels are discussed.

[Hymie]

ynnafymmi is continuing to make false claims about me supporting the likes of Putin & Xi - if I was to do this to anyone else on AB, I'd expect to be banned from the site.

[ynnafymmi]

Well Hymie,you are not exactly helping your own cause with your perpetual attacks on Western leaders while keeping schtum about Putin and Xi.Forget Trump,start attacking these nut-jobs first.

[THECORBYLOON]

ynnafymmi, an absence of criticizing something or someone does not imply support for that thing or that person.

Given the fact you have just confirmed your claim that HYMIE supports Putin and Xi is based only on the fact he doesn't mention them, your claim is clearly false.

Please do not repeat the claim again.

[ynnafymmi]

Yes,THECORBYLOON,but the absence of Hymie attacking dictators like Putin or Xi does make one wonder whether Hymie is being a wee bit biased in his/her postings?

[Hymie]

Further to THECORBYLOON's post above, in this post (from sometime ago) I asked who had killed the most people in human history - listing as possible culprits: Stalin, Hitler, Pol Pot and Mao (hardly supporting such persons).

[THECORBYLOON]

A focus on the negatives of one side of an argument does not indicate a support for the extremes of the opposing viewpoint so please have that in mind for future posts.

Trump has said that he will appeal the court rulings – but even if the matters ultimately were to be placed before The Supreme Court (stuffed by Trump with his cronies), it is extremely unlikely that even they would rule that the president of the USA can unilaterally amend The Constitution.

 

Trump will then be left with the choice of following the court’s ruling or ignoring it.

[drmorgans]

 

Can Trump amend the US constitution unilaterally? Don't amendments have to go to Congress?

 

[Hymie]

Yes, but if the Trump government ignores the Constitution (and the courts’ rulings), there is no mechanism in place to force him to obey the courts.

I've always thought that the best form of government would be a benign dictator - trouble is most dictators aren't benign and any that are eventually die or otherwise lose power.

[Hymie]

In the UK, if government ministers instruct their staff (or other government employees) to carry out illegal actions – then those staff/employees (who carry out those illegal actions) can be prosecuted in the courts and face the appropriate penalties (which could include jail-time) – I don’t know if US government employees are subject to the same.

He's going to do exactly what he wants until he's dead because he's a spoiled manbaby who cares about nothing but himself.

 

[Khandro]

Why do so many people hate winners ? Is it because they themselves are losers?

[douglas9401]

I don't know, Khandro, maybe you could put further thoughts on the matter in your next post.

If you'd be so kind as to include winning by lying, cheating and insurrection that'd be great. Thanks.

gawd I wish we had a Trump to ride rough shod over the trobiscites, 5C and VBQC and just get things done without worrying about jumped up judges who have never even lived in the real world. Go Donald.

[douglas9401]

Until it affects your own wee corner of paradise of course, Tora, then it would be horrible to be rough-ridden over and you with no option but to suck it up.

Visionary!

Has the Donald ever lived in the "real world"? The pampered son of a billionaire, who was excused conscription on dubious grounds then given a sub to start his own property empire.
