Trump is already resembling Maduro, making threats if he loses the election.

He said the same thing about Hillary. He said the same thing about Biden.

Yeah remember when he lost to Biden and then nothing happened and he and his supporters participated in a completely peaceful transfer of power just like normal?

[–] FlyingSquid 22 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm pretty sure that WWIII didn't then follow that event, which is the point. Trump has been consistently saying a nuclear war will happen if you don't elect him since 2016.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Very true. I personally think electing Trump is probably more likely to lead to an escalation of global tensions.

[–] Charapaso 2 points 4 months ago

Yep: we already saw how his placation of Putin likely led to the invasion of Ukraine, and his recognition of Jerusalem as the capital of Israel for sure pumped up Netanyahu and his coalition.

[–] RampantParanoia2365 1 points 4 months ago

Indeed, I do not.

[–] FlyingSquid 9 points 4 months ago (2 children)

Yeah, this World War III thing is an old one from him.

[–] rayyy 7 points 4 months ago

An old one from a demented old one.

[–] ObviouslyNotBanana 4 points 4 months ago

He's been doing it for almost a decade.
