I always liked the story about the 47 year old French guy that promised to pay 90 year old Jeanne Calment rent on her property and assume ownership when she died.  He passed away at 77, while she lived to be 122.

IIRC, he paid double what the place was worth and still didn't get it before he died.  His family continued the payments after his death.

It is highly ironic.... IMHO.... that Trump just made this inane comment.  Considering that one of his most avid (rabid) supporters just made the claim that absolute power corrupts re: her disdain for Netanyahu having been "in power" for decades in Israel. 

Quote
The first time Netanyahu outran charges of corruption was back in 1999.  And absolute power, which he has had since 2009, does corrupt absolutely, especially when such tendencies appear to be hard-wired.

Netanyahu's corruption stems from his total control of the Israeli government .... find tuned over almost four decades in power.

Yep - she outlived him by 2 years.  I'm imagining the guy unsuccessfully trying to scare her and putting obstacles on the stairs for 30 years.

C'mon Xena, get with the program  It's okay if TRUMP and HIS PEOPLES do it or dream of it.

Absolute power only corrupts everyone else.  Trump is exempt.

Trump is and always has been on a power trip and applauds himself every chance he gets.  He reminds me of Ali and him chanting "I am the greatest".  Trump feels no differently.  He's in power, he's in control and he's making himself richer and more powerful.  I have always felt, that giving one of the richest people in the world, one of the most powerful positions in the world was sheer lunacy.

What scares me more is that we have citizens who support such a brutal creep.

Mussolini was one man.  He would have been nothing without the blackshirts normalizing brutal strength.

The sad thing is, he doesn't realize that the majority of people around the world are laughing at him.

There's a malignant narcissist in the next town over who posts a selfie every day on Facebook.  He doesn't realize that everybody is laughing at him behind his back.  There's a woman who doesn't realize he's a closeted homosexual, and she makes a fool of herself being gaga at him and his antics.  And everyone laughs at her, too.

(I'm not on Facebook...but as a narcissist, this guy has made himself big all over town, so I hear about it.)

Weak-minded cowards always look up to brutal creeps and admire brutal regimes.  They mistakenly "think" they won't be victimized if they just overlook and go along with the brutality.  Much like everything else they "think"....

they'd be wrong about that, too.

@catfish1957

It's on tape as in recorded.  There was another thread about this and I said he wants to be "the" dictator of all time, tell everyone in the country what they can and cannot do, and require "credit" from each person for his/her being alive, and the dangerous part is, he doesn't see a problem with this.

Did anyone watch "Phineas and Ferb"?  This is sort of the plot of their movie, when Dr. Doofenschmertz became the Ruler of the Tri-State Area.

@Once-Ler they're just following Rules for Radicals.

6. “A good tactic is one your people enjoy.” They’ll keep doing it without urging and come back to do more. They’re doing their thing, and will even suggest better ones.

13. “Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.” Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions.

LOL. The Trumpsplaining is so cute. Once again, stupid comments are being justified as 'he is just joking'. This reminds me a lot of some friends who have a teenage son who is very far in the Autism scale. They are always having to go up to people when they are in public and apologize for his outbursts and rude comments explaining his mental health issues.

The 'Trumpslaining' just shows the level of gullibility his supporters had in the very first place and how steadfast they are in refusing to admit his backpedaling and liberalism.

"Chinese President Xi Jinping recently consolidated power. Trump told the gathering: “He’s now president for life. President for life. And he’s great.” Trump added: “I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot someday.”"

I know this is might be WAPO / CNN hit piece, but if there is truth to this, I think serious discussions need to be underway within GOP around  DJT's  sanity.

CNN did not put the words in his mouth that was witnessed by millions on video. I wish it was fake news
