In reply to the discussion: The dictator in chief likes to kill people. [View all]slightlv
(6,946 posts)42. Interesting idea!  Especially since this is exactly what I believe he did
        after losing the election to Biden. I mean, who in the hell receives heads of state at a golf hotel?! NO ONE is suppose to do anything like that other than the President, and there can only be one of those at a time. But just like everything else, trump ignored that law as being too restrictive. He sent out envoys and received heads of state. He should have been stopped so many times on so many things, it's just too anger inducing for me to think hard about it. But setting up a Shadow Government from scratch... not transitioning it from an active presidency to a shadow of what it was... I'd like to know more about how that could happen. Sure sounds like something I could get behind in a heartbeat!

        I think he relates more to being like a mob boss that has hitmen do the killing for him. I think a lot of his goons do.

        The best way in my opinion and others have mentioned similar plans is to build a shadow government.

        Yes, and I still haven't figured it out.  I'm just ignoring it for now, it's not worth it or my time.

        HE doesn't kill. His FLUNKIES kill. He's the Mafia Boss, except mafia bosses dress well, not baggy thrift store suits.

        When he talks of death or harm or injury, he does so with a sadistic undertone of glee.
