After weeks of authoritarian threats to crush protests with the military, cancel elections, conquer foreign countries, and send masked agents door-to-door to round up anyone who can’t prove their citizenship, Trump on Wednesday told an already uneasy room full of world leaders that “sometimes you need a dictator.”
The offhanded comment came in the middle of a rambling speech at the reception dinner for the annual meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Wednesday, in which Trump congratulated himself on a different rambling speech he’d given earlier that day at the summit.
“We had a good speech, we got great reviews. I can’t believe it, we got good reviews on that speech,” Trump said of the widely mocked address in which he continued to demand the US take over Greenland (which he repeatedly referred to as “Iceland”) and made new tariff threats against Canada and Europe if they resist the annexation.

Why have an election if you’re going to lose it?
Trump will totally try to ignore the midterm elections.
A Democrat president would be killed for saying this shit
Edit: just saw this. So fucking embarrassing…
he continued to demand the US take over Greenland (which he repeatedly referred to as “Iceland”)
Can’t even get the name right of the country he’s been convinced he needs to invade
…I mean, normal people would just use a targeting circle or a bulls-eye or something, but sure, a dictator works just as well in that case
A dictator can try to bury his Epstein crimes.
Sometimes a country needs a political assassination.
He had two attempts and both were fools. Seriously, the first guy got too damn close and… used iron sights and cheap target ammo? Also his motive was random violence. He wanted to go on a rampage and start by killing the closest political figure He could find… who just so happened to be Trump who was having a rally nearby. No fucking joke, that was the reason.
Why are assassins often the most unstable nutcase who win through sheer luck instead of actual planning?
Because someone who isn’t a nutcase likely doesn’t wanna spend the rest of their life in prison???
First, you’re assuming that most successful assassins are the unstable nutcases. It could just be that it’s more memorable when the motivation is “make jodi foster love me” than “stop an expansionist imperialist who’s destroying the lives of the common man”.
You’re also more likely to be a lone assassin if you don’t conform to social norms because social norms say not to kill people.
The most prolific assassins are just common soldiers whose names we don’t even record.
Man that shit was fake anyway. I remember the day it happened my “moderate republican” buddy said. “He’s going to win the election now for sure”
That assassination attempt was just a planned part of the campaign rally.
“It’s just crazy enough to work!”
Sadly, it did.
That’s exactly how I felt that too.
I thought it was common knowledge at this point that he faked his own assassination and then swept that shit under the rug so quickly that no evidence would be found
Oh, I wouldn’t know, I’m not from the US. I certainly wouldn’t put it past him.
We actually don’t need a dictator in the United states. Seriously!
Can you imagine how different the world would have been if trump didn’t move his head a ¼ of a second earlier
And sometimes you always don’t.
Even if that were true, you’re not it, Donald.
Perhaps America needs a Purge.
That seems to be happening and the democrats voted to give trump’s domestic terrorist group more money today
Sometimes you need a dictator.
Yeah, for target practice.
Target practice? No, my friend, that is the target.
Who shot Mr Burns?
I confess, it was me. Seriously it was.
Sometimes you need a mortar launcher and definitely just a mortar launcher and nothing else. Nope. Definitely not nothing else.
Sometimes you need a guy on a grassy knoll.
sometimes you need to aim an inch more to the right.
Can we go back in time and trade Charlie Kuck’s shooter for the noob that missed Trump?
Sometimes you need to buy a cheap optic.
