In the last two months of this campaign, Drumpf is going to go George Costanza on your asses.

I wonder if Trump and his supporters know there are more amendments beyond the first two

When you say "first two", you're being too kind to them. One of their favorite "policies" is his Muslim ban, so clearly they think #1 needs revision.

"Please don't make me be president."

Yeah, I'm starting to believe this.

 

[SenjutsuSage]

Yo, this guy is a real know nothing. He really does sound like he would be akin to some kind of dictator as President, and would constantly place our entire country in danger where foreign policy is concerned.

This guy as President would literally just be winging it out there.

 

[mckmas8808]

Follow up question should have been whether he would kill their families.

LOL!!! It's not funny, but it kinda is.

 

[mckmas8808]

But non-US citizens are fair game, right?

Non-US citizens are different.

 

[davepoobond]

waterboarding will soon be a police action.

 

[Bloomers]

Trump still hasn't learned how US law and democracy works, news at 11


*sigh* November can't come any sooner.

This is the thing here. It's not like this is a nuanced and thought out policy decision. This is an answer he gave on the spot, because that's what he does and that's about the extent of the thought he puts into it. At the most, his thought process was "does this make me sound tough?"

 

[rambis]

Im so confused. I wasnt even aware this was a thing in the first place. How would this even work? Civillians are now subject to UCMJ action?

 

[The Last Wizard]

So we trying trump for treason right?

 

[davepoobond]

Im so confused. I wasnt even aware this was a thing in the first place. How would this even work? Civillians are now subject to UCMJ action?

it wouldnt work. US civilians aren't subject to military court except if they are in the military or possibly a combatant. its a violation of due process and probably a whole bunch of other things

 

[studyguy]

Trump probably should have taken Khan up on that offer.

 

[Ushojax]

Do you think Trump would be able to name the 3 branches of government and their basic elements? I don't think he would.

[AstroLad]

Do you think Trump would be able to name the 3 branches of government and their basic elements? I don't think he would.

No, his entire knowledge base seems to be just from whatever's on wingnut media. He'd deflect by starting with "the courts" and go into a diatribe over "liberal judges" and never move on from that.

 

[Random Painted HIghway]

To me this is the most disturbing thing he's said. I just can't.

 

[Caja 117]

Yeah, I'm starting to believe this.

Wasnt Trevor Noah the first TV personality to joke about this? I remember back when Trump said his quote about how his fanbase will still follow him even i he kills someone.

 

[CHC]

I don't think he wants to be the President anymore.

 

[MoxManiac]

If be some horrid chance this idiot becomes president, could he even make something like that happen?

It's terrifying to think about.

 

[devilhawk]

Citizens being tried in military tribunals would be pretty bad.

Though it is still more due process than a citizen getting a drone strike up their ass.

 

[Sean C]

No. American citizens cannot be tried in military court unless they're actually part of the military. They'd otherwise be subject to a petition of habeas corpus by the civilian courts. Also, only Congress can suspend habeas corpus, and only in places in the US where the civil courts are not functioning; that would prevent anybody arrested on American soil for terrorism from being tried by the military.

 

[Mimosa97]

DONALD TRUMP WILL PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION

Your comment is pretty loaded. It's like saying that an armed robber didn't get due process because they were shot while firing at police. You only get due process if you are caught and under control. I 100% believe that people should be tried in civilian, open court for terrorism charges. But if they are on the battlefield in a foreign country and openly fighting the US (or whomever), then they are fair target for similar military response.

 

[Dai101]

The worst thing is i know he can do this very thing.

 

[Jacobi]

So this is super disturbing even though Bush tried non-citizens, which is pretty much more disturbing because ???

 

[norm9]

Don't agree with him. I look forward to a clarification tomorrow.

 

[Vicetrailia]

Trump doesn't even know what he's talking about. He's dumb as rocks and is way less informed than gaf users on just about everything governing related.

 

[Arrogant Bastard]

Because it's not going to happen.

It will happen, it won't be a debate.

He has no choice, this isn't an issue like tax returns.

OT: You guys are just twisting his words, he isn't a politician, you need to listen to the entire context of what he was saying and that fine is an acronym.

 

[Gallbaro]

Obama chuckled.

Drone Strike ahoy!
