In reply to the discussion: President Trump Forced Governors to Flatter him and Ask 'NICELY' to Get Vital Federal Disaster Aid [View all]halfulglas
(1,654 posts)38. BOW DOWN. Remember that phrase a few Trump campaign aides made during the
2016 campaign? Saying that if he won we would all have to BOW DOWN to Trump. I can't remember her name when she said it and I thought she meant it about worshiping him and I thought she was crazy. This kind of thing is probably what she meant. He was a royal ruler who expected everyone to come and pay him homage and request what they needed and he would decide if they deserved it - F--- federal law. F--- Puerto Rico for thinking they deserved help. They didn't kiss the ring sufficiently. Only autocrats like Putin deserved his respect.

This is a form of sadistic cruelty. People in emergency situations have to grovel and beg for help.

Hopefully, Trump will end up like Col. Jessop on the stand, incriminating himself and being dragged

I feel like I'm in some sort of time warp. Who didn't know this throughout his term in office?
