Another example showing his desire to be a dictator.

This is all for his ego. Best to regard this as pure comedy since he’s such a joke.

I think probably a good rule of thumb to avoiding a dictatorship is to take everything a potential dictator says and does quite seriously.

I don’t find comedy in a joke of a “man” threatening the free press because that same “man” is our president.

I guess. But Trump pretty much just thrives on high-scale reactions and people paying attention to him (example: NFL kneeling)

I get what you mean, I just don’t think that kind of talk should be disregarded when coming from someone in power even if it’s probably not something meant to be a serious threat.

Typical snowflake tyrant like Lenin, Mussolini, Hitler, Franco, Trujillo, Mao, Duvalier, Castro, Amin, Pinochet, or Khomeini... when one dislikes the output of a free press, then shut it down.

Hey, would-be dictator! Our Founding Fathers decided to ratify a Bill of Rights that includes the freedom of speech and the press as a protection against a would-be tyrant like you. Someone who admires dictators like Saddam Hussein and Vladimir Putin instead of the more standard heroes of conservatism such as Margaret Thatcher and Ronald Reagan.  Leaders like you? I have seen them in business, the sorts who demand that subordinates tell them only what those bosses want to hear. That's the antithesis of leadership.

...By trying to short-circuit the Constitution, this President has done an impeachable offense. It need not be a statutory crime.

Cry me a river

The joke of a president you worship is the river-crier.
