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.

    No. We don’t need a dictator. We don’t need you. Please die you racist piece of shit. The world won’t be better when you’re dead, because your awful presense lives on, just as reagan’s presense is still felt in our corrupt prison system. But that doesn’t mean that millions of people won’t celebrate your death the moment it happens.

      I have a feeling so many Fauxbrained numbnuts are going to be the most puzzled and Pikachu-faced group of people ever when spontaneous celebration breaks out all over when Donvict passes away.

      I bet they get even more angry than they did about Kirk if they see mass celebrations of people breaking out the champagne and setting off bottle rockets or whatever…for Kirk, most of America was like: who? oh, and I give a fuck why? and the cons acted like Kirk was some kinda martyr everyone knew and cared about…and they are still seething in rage over it and dipshit reps want to name stuff after him…I don’t think anyone went out on the streets and started partying, though.
