Trump wants Americans to "Stand at Attention" for him

[Nyvin]

...just like the "strong leader" Kim Jong Un.

I found this really creepy but not surprising.  It hits different when I hear him actually say stuff like this.

[Florida Man for Crime]

I would stand and pay close attention to him.

If I were his prison guard looking into his cell to check on him, that is.

[Obama24]

I mean this isn't exactly surprising is it? He's fangirled over strong man leaders for about the past 8 years now.

[Reaganfan Democrat]

I don't worship a concept, I follow a King.

[Penn_Quaker_Girl]

I mean so do I, but we don't always get what we want. 

[Progressive Pessimist]

I mean so do I, but we don't always get what we want. 

You kind of do get that on this forum.

Okay, Adolf.

The funny thing is, that when you read a summary of it, it exactly reads like a description of Trump. It's almost comical.

I'm still unclear on what this slogan means, lol. "Worshipping a concept" might be a silly thing to do, but it's very clearly preferable to following a king.

Nah.  Why would I put my trust in an idea rather than a person?  An idea isn't going to save me when the hordes come to kill my family and take my land.

[Del Tachi]

But anyway, it has been customary for a long time to stand when the president (or another high-ranking official or dignitary) enters a room.  Trump is a making a joke.

Imagine believing that things are sooooooo different now than they were only 300-400 years ago.  Even in many parts of the world today, it is still the equivalent of medieval warlords who will choose what happens to you if/when s[inks]t hits the fan.

Human nature is immutable.

Do you want to be ruled by laws or by men?

Did you watch the video? Maybe it's not a big deal. But he definitely not joking.

The difference is the peasants back then didn't know any better. What's your excuse?

For you, as they say, "is a choice".

Take your pick really. It's not like the lot of them were literate.

Don't know if you've seen the original context, it's been a forum meme so long I think the original lyrics have been overshadowed here.

Let's put an end to this once and for all
We've found strength in numbers
And when your time runs out, what will you believe?

I'm in no search for salvation or sanity
Your words are bringing me down
Just leave me be
A sinking ship, escape from these shackles at home
Led to your bleeding heart, and I'm standing alone
A song, some psalm about hope and fear
Subject to the words of a voice I don't hear
Constructing an army of fallen men before my eyes
But I don't want your council, I walk my own line

I live the life of the true
I do not bleed
My eyes only see the ones who don't believe
Just the sight of the hopeless with no calling or a place in the sun

It takes more than might to move the masses
It takes strength beyond strength to stand for something
I can see your arms open to welcome the storm

I see the boundaries
I know this game
I can stand with you though we don't see the same
I want you to know the love that set me free
I don't worship a concept, I follow a king

We walk through water to bridge the gap between lives and separate sides
And when it comes to this there will be no war, there should be no pride
You've always hated what you've never known
And never loved what you were never shown
Drop your guard and be as strong as "we"
Finally free

Block out the sun until the walls cave in
Block out the sun until the walls cave in
Tearing down the walls between two sides
Respecting each other's lives with no fear no pride
Bridging the gap that exists, though there are still two sides
Please know I'm on your side

We walk through water to bridge the gap between lives and separate sides
Drop your guard and be as strong as "we"
Finally free

Let's put an end to this once and for all
We've found strength in numbers
And when your time runs out, what will you believe?

The thing that deters those would be hordes (the rule of law) is an idea, DT.
