Conservatives Finally Speak: "He's Acts Like He's a King"

[muriel_volestrangler]

Senator Ted Cruz said, "Undeterred, President Trump appears to be going forward. It is lawless. It is unconstitutional. He is defiant and angry at the American people. If he acts by executive diktat, President Trump will not be acting as a president, he will be acting as a monarch.”

Lou Dobbs pronounced that President Trump's actions are "evidence of his unilateral, even occasionally authoritarian inclination."

Senator Rand Paul claimed, "The president acts like he's a king. He ignores the Constitution...These are not the words of a great leader. These are the words that sound more like the exclamations of an autocrat." Indeed, Paul went so far as to tweet out a photo of a crown, scepter, cape, and throne with the words, "The 'president who thinks he's a king' starter pack."

The Speaker of the House said, "The president has said before that 'he's not king' and he's 'not an emperor,' but he sure is acting like one."

The Rude Pundit hits the nail on the head ...

7. They don't mind tyrants

As long as it’s their tyrant.

[Honeycombe8]

9. So...they are speaking about OBAMA. Not Trump.

I thought that didn't sound like them. Even though the name Trump appears in some of the beginning paragraphs, it's a joke on the reading. Those are quotes about Obama.

11. The GOP code:

Never let a black president think he can enjoy the basic privileges of the presidency.

While they impeached Clinton over bullshit, they never attacked his every move with the subtext that he was being 'uppity' and 'arrogant' and 'beyond his limits'.

And for the Russian-installed occupier? Beyond hypocrisy. They'll let him trample the constitution as long as it's in service to their party. Oh, and since he's white, he's not an affront to the office the way the [legitimate and popular vote-winning] black president was.

12. Worried

about being shot in the Oval Office guys? Haha..

[SunSeeker]

13. Yup, that's it in a nutshell:

"...everything that conservatives falsely feared about Obama is true with Trump. And their refusal to broadly condemn it means that they're just fine with a dictator, as long as he's a rich white guy who hates immigrants and cuts taxes."
