Donald J. Trump’s declaration Tuesday night that he would be a “dictator” only on “Day One” of his presidency wasn’t to be taken seriously, Fox News host Jesse Watters insisted Wednesday.
“It’s only a dictatorship for one day, guys,” Watters began, chuckling. “He’ll just sit and sign executive orders like Biden did.”
Trump, Watters claimed, “knows exactly what he is doing.”
“He’s teasing the press and they just took the bait,” he claimed, before playing clips of two MSNBC contributors who—unlike Watters—were not taking Trump lightly.
“Look how unhappy these people look. MSNBC needs to relax. And don’t you dare laugh at Trump’s jokes. They aren’t funny,” the Fox host said, before going to another round of clips, this time from the rival network’s Morning Joe show.
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.
Oh, you mean the conflict that’s glorified by right-wing terrorist groups today because it targeted leftists?
Fun reminder that the GOP today has the same enemies as the Nazis: sexual, ethnic, and religious minorities & leftists. Its not a coincidence, its a plan.
Yep, that’s the one. Absolute hilarity! Let’s not pretend there hasn’t been plenty of dictator humor from the left also though. Unfortunately, supporting “leftist” ideals does not preclude your being a brutal “comedian”.
Well yes, one can be an idiot on the left and wish for a Reign of Terror.
But the left doesn’t really have a problem with paramilitary groups advertising that they’re training for a civil war while trying to overthrow elections and invoking that imagery.
