Shit's fucked up
I've said this before but you have to take Trump with a grain of salt. He says a lot of stupid stuff. He has no intention of being a dictator and taking away our right to vote for someone else. He also just said recently that if 'the people' voted for someone else in a fair election that he would be completely Ok with that and accept it.
Trump uses a lot of metaphors and 'poke the bear' type jokes in jest. You can't take him literally all the time. He doesn't mean it. He WILL however fight for this Country and fight for YOUR rights.
I DO wish he would tone it down more. He would get more independent voters and possibly swing someone like yourself and those that are closet republicans and don't realize it (like my in-laws).
