Take him at his word, folks #Trump

It’s fun to laugh at Trump and all but I wish all these freedom lovers would listen a little bit more closely to what he actually says before they cheer him on like a bunch of tweens at a One Direction concert:
“If you look at North Korea, this guy, he’s like a maniac, OK?”
“And you’ve got to give him credit: How many young guys — he was like 26 or 25 when his father died — take over these tough generals and all of a sudden, you know, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it. How does he do that?”
“Even though it is a culture, and it’s a culture thing, he goes in, he takes over, he’s the boss. It’s incredible.”
“I mean, it’s amazing that a young guy would go over and take over. You know, you would have thought that these tough generals would have said no way this is gonna happen when the father died.
“So he’s gotta have something going for him, because he kept control, which is amazing for a young person to do.”
Setting aside the utter lack of understanding about how North Korea works betrayed by that statement, if people cannot see by now what Trump is about when he says things like that, they’re being willfully blind.
This isn’t actually a joke. It’s not really a Reality TV show. This guy has millions of Americans cheering him and what he’s saying very clearly is that America needs a strongman dictator. Him. But don’t worry he’ll be “very humane” and will “take care” of the people. But that’s what he’s saying. He really could not be clearer.
What’s amazing is that most of the people who are supporting him also wave around the Constitution like it was handed down directly from God. I guess they must not be too bright.
