So yeah, the President is super healthy right now. Which means he can be the dictator he’s always wanted to be. That’s not the flex he thinks it is. There was no shortage of replies calling this out for what it is: Fox News perfectly comfortable admitting that Donald Trump is behaving like a dictator.

@JesseBWatters, you do realize that by saying exactly this you are admitting he IS a dictator, right?

You fucking idiot.

If you think long term memory means you don’t have dementia, you might have dementia.

So he does not have dementia but he is a dictator. Is that what we’re going with here? Also the guy who doesn’t need notes bitched for days about his teleprompter going down.
