In 2016 I heard people say they like Trump bc he says what he means.

For someone who says what they mean, there sure is a lot of explaining intent coming from the right.

Every 4 years we get the summer Olympics, and yet the hurdles competition there still ain't in the level of MAGAts trying to walk back the latest Trump comment.

It's always a "joke" when he gets criticized for saying something absolutely atrocious.

I agree. He was joking about it only being one day.

That didn't happen.
And if it did, it wasn't that bad.
And if it was, that's not a big deal.
And if it is, that's not my fault.
And if it was, I didn't mean it. <---- this one
And if I did, you deserved it.

*arrow mine. may it find Trump's knee.

If you're always "joking," you're never joking.

Of course they did. a tan suit is far beneath the office, but joking about being a fascist is not. Makes perfect sense

Oops hahah the guillotine went off haha it was just a joke, stop rolling away haha lmao.

Trump always lies about what he’s done.

He never lies about what he wants to do.

If he says he wants to be a dictator, then that’s exactly who he wants to be.

Yeah it's not a joke though. Why would I believe fox news? And why wouldn't I believe Trump?

Look, it's only a joke until I decide it's not - Trump

Joking about becoming a dictator would make you unelectable 20 years ago. Remember when Howard Dean got excited at a rally and screamed a bit too loud? That was 20 years ago and it completely sank his campaign. Though he didn’t stand much of a chance against John Kerry for the nomination, his campaign was doomed after that.

The only Jesse Watters clip I can get behind is the one where his mom tells him how disappointed she is in him for lying to people for profit.

Ahh ha ha ha, ahh ha ha ha! Dictatorships are soooo freaking funny guys. Remember when the US backed Pinochet's military junta in Chile? God that was hilarious. Super funny when they started disappearing people. And the torture, good times, good times.

I fear it’ll take blood in the streets before people really see what this is all about.

The amount of mental gymnastics this crowd needs to go through to defend Trump. Wild.

I can only hope that the name Jesse Watters is lost to history, and not studied by future historians trying to figure out how the fuck we let Trump come to power a second time.

Let me walk into a bank and joke about robbing it. Only if I get caught, of course.

"But if he was a dictator, that would be good actually" --same guy

And before anyone says we're snowflakes and can't take a joke -- he's not joking. This was not a joke. Vote accordingly, and be warned, you do NOT want to be living in a dictatorship.

Sure, it’s “just a prank, bro.”

Literally tried to overthrow American democracy but somehow any mention of engaging in the actions of a dictator is supposed to be construed as an obvious joke.

Yeah, the end of America is just hilarious. Anyway, why would anyone believe these gaslighting assholes? They also claimed (and many continue to) that they have no plans to end abortion nationwide. Same with other rights like birth control and gay marriage.

Don't believe any of them. They are liars.

We have been through all this before. Who are they trying to fool?

Trump doesn't make jokes. Ever.

Pay no attention to the dictator behind the suit!

Just like how Palpatine said that "he was the Senate" hahah good times. Glad to see it was only a joke and he didn't userp the power of the entire galactic Republic and become an emperor /s

Trump is known for being a jokester. A real funny guy 🙄
