    Trump Amps Up ‘Dictator’ Talk In Stunning New Cabinet Meeting Rant

    President Donald Trump amped up his “dictator” talk in a new cabinet meeting rant, suggesting that Americans would accept a “dictator” in exchange for increased policing.

    The president’s use of the military to police U.S. cities came up repeatedly. Trump and his administration have supported the push with a steady stream of wild, and at times unhinged claims about crime.

    Trump’s policing takeover scheme has also prompted increased chatter that Trump is a “dictator,” a charge that Trump has weirdly leaned into while claiming he is “not a dictator.”

    On Tuesday afternoon, Trump went there much more explicitly than he has before during a cabinet meeting as he repeated a false story about Gov. Wes Moore (D-MD):

    PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: But I met this gentleman. I never met him before. “Sir, you’re doing a great job. You’re doing an unbelievable job. Thank you very much.”
    But then he goes on television and says, “Oh, Trump is a dictator. He’s a dictator.”.
    And a lot of people hear it.
    So the line is that I’m a dictator, but I stop crime. So a lot people say, you know, “If that’s the case, I’d rather have a dictator.”.
    But I’m not a dictator. I just had to stop crime. And you would think that Illinois would have such a problem with crime, such a bad governor. He should be calling me, and he should be saying, “Could you send over the troops, please?”.
    It’s out of control. It’s outta control.
    Less than 24 hours earlier, Trump made a similar suggestion during his flag-burning executive order photo op:

    And they say, we don’t need him, freedom, freedom, he’s a dictator, he’s a dictator. A lot of people are saying maybe we like a dictator. I don’t like a dictator. I’m not a dictator. I’m a man with great common sense and I’m a smart person.
    Watch above via Fox News.

    During presser with president of South Korea, Trump raved about North Korean dictator and talked about how much fun he had at their press conference during his first term.

    He's talking about a dividend check for wealthy and business owners.

    Not poor people. Probably not much for the middle class.

    Doesn't matter. It should be illegal for any politician to accept money from anybody except the US government.

    AIPAC is irrelevant. It should be incapable of influencing anything political in the US.

    I distinctly remember the Pacific Ocean had a lot of water before Trump.

    There is an old joke that a prosecutor can get a grand jury to indict a ham sandwich. (For being not kosher, I guess).

    Fox commentator turned US Attorney for DC tried three different times to get three different grand juries to indict a protester for allegedly assaulting ICE agents. Failed three times.

    Clearly the person less guilty than the ham sandwich.

    When Trump took over Kennedy Center for the Arts, he had dance director fired. They just hired a new director. Decent credentials, had a solid career as dancer.

    Said his mission is to get "woke" out of ballet. In other words, keep it white, European, and 19th century. I like Swan Lake as much as any other fan but ballet didn't end with Swan Lake.

    I think of Dylan in Complete Unknown saying he didn't want to sing Blowing in the Wind forever.
