You're extrapolating out what is a likely desire in manchild Trump to an actual reality. He's thin skinned and insecure to the point he can't handle criticism and lashes out whenever he gets made fun of or lies when he gets called out on making factually incorrect statements, not the same as trying to have his critics thrown in a gulag. He may admire Putin, but he can't get away with the sort of tactics Putin has used in Russia against critics and comeptitors in the USA.

I would expect him to continue to be a baby though, he's proven he can't handle it. So the POTUS will be sending out tweets in the wee hours of the morning whenever he is butthurt about Baldwin making fun of him, or needs to make excuses for one of his latest failures in the media. It's going to be a yuuuge embarrassment to the US that will be chronicled in the history books. I also expect more propaganda and brainwashing of his drones to distrust any press source that he does not sanction.

What I would worry about if I were on his 'list' of mean people who make him angry is him now having the entire spying apparatus of the NSA at his disposal. One of the reasons Snowden cited for feeling compelled to blow the whistle on the illegal spying policy was exactly this situation. Something along the lines of a corrupt leader coming to power who claimed 'they'd fix everything' and that entire apparatus waiting there for someone with no scruples at all to make use of. I'd also worry if I were Snowden, Trump claimed if he were made POTUS that he and Putin would get along 'great' and that Snowden would be sent back to the US. He also mentioned Snowden should be executed. So there's that.

I look forward to years of entertainment as @potus is turned into Trump's filled diaper every time he has a tantrum over those who do not cup his nuts as he expects.

Here's a diaper pin for you, snowflake...

There are idiots on the left that actually think he's going to deport US citizens and set up internment camps; and libs think non-libs are stupid. He's not going to do that and even of he tried, congress and the courts would bitch-slap him. Grow up.

I'm just saying.

It's scary. An incoming president who gets peeved at the slightest little criticism. What's going to go down when he is actually POTUS?

He did not call being unable to take away people's second amendment rights his biggest failure. What a ridiculous lie.

Actually, he did, you didn't watch did you? That's from CNN, and it's Obama saying exactly that.

For those of us who are too lazy to watch a nearly 9 minute clip could you please point to what time on that tape he said this? I have a funny suspicion your original statement is being presented out of context.

ps. yesterday Trump said Obama is a good guy and a good American. Trump he taking advice from Obama and essentially wants his advice going forward. *This is not an exact quote from Trump, I heard an audio recording of Trump*

Funny that of all his failures, he considers not being able to deprive the public of their second amendment rights his biggest one. :rolleyes:

Please provide the exact quote that you think said that, because my bet is that you're trying the age old lie that gun regulations are depriving people of their second amendment rights.

How about someone provide a quote from Trump which clearly says something like the title of this thread???

ie: "Openly Criticize Trump and Face Jail Time"

Nope? Can't find it? Hypocrite?

I'm not liberal or conservative. I'll vote both parties. When I do vote it is typically Democrat but I'm hardly a liberal. I'm more fiscally conservative but when it comes to social issues like gay rights I guess I'm liberal. TBH, I just don't care if 2 guys or 2 women want to have sex or get married.

I have much more to worry about.

Yes, apparently you have to worry about Trump throwing you in jail lol.

Even Breitbart says gun control.

http://www.breitbart.com/big-government/2016/12/08/obama-cnn-gun-control/

I went through the entire video and I did not hear Obama say his biggest regret was not taking away guns.

Exactly. The idea that passing regulations is taking away someone's second amendment rights is ridiculous. Do people think that parade permits take away their first amendment rights?

If regulating a right is inherently removing it then we never had any rights to begin with.

Sorry, would you like to skype? I'll read you a fucking transcript.

No I'd just like to know exactly where Obama said what you claimed. Other posters have taken care of it so unless you have new evidence or proof I'll assume it didn't happen.

New laws abridge currently existing rights, and just where the fuck did "confiscating guns" get discussed in this thread, except where you just randomly threw it into the discussion? Grow the fuck up and learn to read instead of spin your POV.

You should take your own advice as you tried to spin 'new gun regulations' into 'taking away second amendment rights'. That's not true anymore than parade permits are taking away your first amendment rights.

I guess considering the thread topic, I expected too much, LOL.

HomerJS brought it up, not me, I provided video of Obama proving him wrong, and strangely enough, no one will watch it. Hmmmmmm.

The damn man is intimidating, that's enough to say. He will cast a pall over Washington and the USA at large. The so-called "free world" will lose a lot of it's freedoms if he gets his way. Resist!
