It would be funny if he really just means he won’t be able to run more than 2 terms so you don’t have to vote for him anymore

I'm pretty sure this is it. He doesn't give a fuck if anyone votes ever again if he's not on the ballot. That's it.
This interpretation is so good
That's how it has always sounded to me. The libs are so convinced he'll declare himself dictator of America that they haven't even stopped to think if he even wants that. It seems like being president was kind of a shit show for him, and he probably doesn't really want to do again unless he has to, so I doubt he'd declare himself president for life. He probably wants to bugger off and spend all of his time golfing or something.
It's just a pallette swap of "we're gonna win so much you'll be tired of winning" and statements of that ilk. "We're going do so good you don't need to worry anymore".
I think there is a serious boy who cried wolf concern for the Dems. If they keep twisting his more innocuous comments (like the "bloodbath" one that was clearly about the auto industry) everyone outside BlooMAGA is gonna stop listening when he says actual dangerous stuff
boy who cried wolf concern
That really concerns me. GOP judges and justices (particularly on the supreme court) are paving the way for horrors but libs are always carping about their go-to boogieman - Orange Man Bad. And every fucking election is now the most important election of our lifetime.
If they keep
I think we passed that point probably four or five years ago.
yeah that's literally what he said right after
After that you don’t have to worry about voting any more. I don’t care, because we’re going to fix it, the country will be fixed and we won’t even need your vote any more because, frankly, we will have such love.
Basically claiming he'll fix anything. Standard lib lies.
Lib?
People who support capitalism are liberals. Republicans and Democrats are both libs and it says a lot about American politics that people consider them different at all.
The future Turnip would bring about is nothing like the future self-proclaimed liberals want.
turnip is a lib and so is the coconut lady and so are 99% of people in the country. Be real
You are aware he literally had already been president and governed like a slightly less conservative version of Biden, yes?
Not all liberals are the same, man
Some support the monarchy (eg. UK), some had them beheaded (eg. France)
In this case, Trump represents the "small" business, or petit bourgeois folks, but more importantly, the more 'dirty'-large capitalists like the oil-funded Koch brothers, who are more clearly connected to capitalist exploitation, both in the Global North and South
In a sense, they are propretarians and thus more closer to the dream/nightmare of classical liberalism come true
On the other, Biden/Kamala Harris represents labor aristocrats and professional manager classes (specialized stewards of capital), but more importantly, the more formal and neat looking large capitalists like Bill Gates or Mark Cuban, who finance and lend money behind closed doors capitalist exploitation, both in the Global North and South
In a sense, they are neoliberals with a barely-veiled socdem face
Ehh, I doubt they would care enough to know to be displeased
as in liberal
Seeing libs gasp at this like it means he plans on dismantling elections has made me want to jump into an active volcano.
They know what he meant. But they know the only way kamala wins is if Trump is portrayed as much more horrible than her.
My libs are losing their minds over this
Maybe they should do something while they still have a democrat in office? No? Ah well. Nevertheless.
I don't think so MANGLO MUSSOLINI
Holy wisdom shitballs
I never voted for anyone in national election anyway, didn't vote in '12, '16, and 2020. I've been disenfranchised since forever.
Wtf how did you vote trump in 2012
Clearly this is all your fault.
I said, vote for me, you’re not going to have to do it ever again
I mean, if he win, he can't start again anyway.
Maybe he's trying to make a weird joke saying "I'm old, you'll never have to vote for me again". 
Surely the deep state technocrats will let him abolish the only thing that maintains an illusion of democracy in a country that based all of its rhetoric on democracy
