Trump is claiming ownership over America, our government and resources, all because he won an election

[bigtree]

....but all of those, including his very office, still belong to the people.

It's not just that he believes Gaza would be his possession (he likely believes this), but that he is behaving as if he's the only stakeholder in this enterprise of his, in all of the moves he's making to try and throw out decades of democratic, legislative action, and to autocratically direct the resources of government where he pleases.

Watch what Trump says here. Then watch it again.

"I would own it."

Gaza. He would own Gaza.

__Trump said Saturday that Palestinians won't have the right to return to Gaza, and "I would own this," expanding on his statements last week that the U.S. would "take over" and "own" the Gaza Strip, and that Palestinians should not return.

"We'll build beautiful communities for the 1.9 million people," the president told Baier. "We'll build beautiful communities. Safe communities. Could be five, six. Could be two, but we'll build safe communities a little bit away from where they are, where all of this danger is. In the meantime, I would own this. Think of it as a real estate development for the future. It would be a beautiful piece of land—"

(Today he said the quiet part out loud about his plans for Gaza, including that Palestinians would not be allowed to return to their homes after he forcibly moved them.)

Baier asked Mr. Trump, "Would the Palestinian have the right to return?"

"No, they wouldn't, because they're going to have much better housing, much better. In other words, I'm talking about building a permanent place for them," Mr. Trump responded.

...that's textbook ethnic cleansing. He'd own that.

1. Never before in the history of our government

Has such an asshole assumed the office and made comments, threats , policy , assumptions that showed the whole world he is nothing more than the smallest minded petty tyrant that he is .

The whole world sees it , they are laughing at him , they are ridiculing him , and they will shun him eventually .

He’s an ignorant ass .

6. they may not want Democrats, but they're going to want some checks

...if just to protect their own personal or professional interests.

3. Trump is a narcissist and psychopath. He believes everything belongs to him.

There is a movie running in his head.
He is the star of the movie, everyone else is just a prop and expendable.

4. keep on

5. this is true

...amazing how hogwild they go when they get power, like there's no tomorrow.

Or like there aren't two other supposedly equal branches of government.

Amazing how willing republicans seem to be to relinquish their own authority to one silly man, so many of the things that they, themselves, fought to put into practice and law; all now threatened by Trump.

Consider how the two other branches are both being actively defied by Trump in prevaricating and posturing against the judge's order to resume funding.

That's a lot of folks, not just Democrats, steady disenfranchising themselves. Something gonna pop.
