Is trump a communist? Consider.

1. He wants absolute immunity\authority
2. He is besties with putin and kim Jong un.
3. He loves china. Tariffed them (punishing Americans; whom now pay more; NOT China)
4. Hes actions violate christian\religious norms of morality.

I am not a fan of Trump but he is not a communist and FYI the USSR doesn't exist anymore.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow correct i suppose the more accurate question is does he have the aspirations of a dictator?
Good point.
@jehova Yes. But a more accurate example of what he strives for is the same as what is taught at Fort Benning the School of the Americas finishing school for dictators and torturers.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow It does in the sense that putin has resurrected it with a different name fulfilling his most cherished goal.
What's the difference between that dictatorship and his now?

He's not a communist. Communism is the abolition of private property, where everything is owned by the state. Trump doesn't support that, he's a capitalist.

Communism is an economic system, not a form of government. Authoritarianism is a form of government. Trump is an authoritarian and what you describe fits into that definition. He also doesn't understand what tariffs are, as he revealed in a recent interview.

@Reason10 Traitor Tot was incompetent and trashed the US economy.

He was "legally elected" in 2016 because we're stuck with the obsolete, slave-era Electoral College. I can guarantee that if Twitler wins the popular vote but Harris wins the Electoral College, Republicans will be on board with getting rid of it.

I like calling Trump names, but that one really doesn't fit. Trump loves authoritarianism, etc, but he can't detach enough from himself to make a decent Communist pitch. If there's a philosophy there at all beyond malignant narcissm I'd say it's more fascism.
@MistyCee Yeah, extreme fascists and extreme communists have a fair amount in common, and Trump seems to map better into the fascist scheme of things.

By the real definition of Communism, nah. Are his politics similar to that of Stalin and Mao? Ohhhhhh yeah.

Russia, Chine and North Korea aren't Communist states. They are dictatorships. That's why Trump loves them, because thats what he wantd.

Putin is a survivor of communism. Trump put tarrifs on China to boost American manufacturing and will likely put more. Thats a good thing. Every Chinese container ship is a war ship in disguise.

@HobNoblin yes and we need no retiree politicians paired with some kind of criminal disqualification(s) adjustment\modernization.

@jehova We need an entire new government, a real one. Not one owned buy global banks and corporations. The way to get that is to take the banking families and owners of these companies out of the picture by any means necessary.
jehova · 31-35, M
@HobNoblin we agree. I wonder if banking families is an inclusive enough term. How do we remove politician families (dynasty politicians) and old world politics.
I was thinking you were alluding to the MAGA communism meme with this.

All of that is a lie.

Next question?
@Reason10 Well we both know you have no clue what you are talking about so your feelings on this don't mean much.
jehova · 31-35, M
@Reason10 an observation and question is not a lie its a perspective. If you disagree with the presented perspective please explain why. Otherwise please stop wasting everyones time. Good day sir.
Remind the class again who’s all about censoring opposing views and throwing political opponents in jail…
Taking from the worker and giving it to the unemployed.
Identity politics..

@Patriot96 ok so he gets to appeal until he dies? Thats unequal treatment should trump be made a king while the rest of us are but peasants. When was it overruled?
jehova · 31-35, M
Shut up goebells..

Nobody’s buying the projection..

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout i asked a question. Your refusal to answer and blatant deflections strongly implies avoidance and denialism, but awareness.
