Im pretty sure this ends with you being dragged out of a spider hole.
Donald J. Trump ✔@realDonaldTrump
Ralph Waldo Emerson seemed to foresee the lesson of the Senate Impeachment Trial of President Trump. When you strike at the King, Emerson famously said, you must kill him. Mr. Trumps foes struck at him but did not take him down. A triumphant Mr.Trump emerges from the.....

(8,090 posts)Not "oh, his comments were hurtful." People need to understand that there are numerous options in how to deal with the Trumps of the world.

(22,976 posts)Not a genuine 45 stubby-fingered tweet. Hes got staff writers to make him look sharp.
Although Im sure he got a mini-stiffy when he read the when you strike at the KING part.

(22,976 posts)Scavino has the titles of White House Director of Social Media and Assistant to the President. You can tell when a Trump-tweet hasnt been written by 45 himself. The grammars better!

Sewer?

I'm guessing sewer.
On the other hand, any investigation / charge brought against any Trump opponent is pretty clearly Trump using Barr for abuse of power. I want to offer a big hand to the Republican Senators, he really did learn is lesson. He knows you're all cowardly morons.

He's quoting Peter Baker.

(2,657 posts)Trump is not a king. The problem is, Trump seems to think he's a kind, and he seems to think that he should act like a King. The other problem is that Senate Republicans and House Republicans seem to think that they should treat him as a king as well.
Enjoy it while you can, you idiot Republicans, because when President Sanders, Buttigieg, Klobuchar, Warren, Biden, or Bloomberg breaks a law during his or her Presidency, we Democrats will just laugh at you Republicans and say, "You wanted a king, you got a king! Pound Sand!"

(10,192 posts)In a democracy, being called a king is an insult. He is such an idiot. He even thinks being described as filled with "grievance, persecution and resentment" is a good thing.
The only saving grace is that the majority of Americans hate him. And the more he acts like a spoiled brat, the more people hate him. Even Machiavelli knew that it was dangerous for the people to hate the prince. Fear was fine but hate was a direct threat to a feudal ruler. And Trump wants to be a feudal ruler like an old fashion Russian Tsar.
Goodheart
