Trump often uses the Royal “we” to confuse. When he does this he’s talking about himself.
So when he talks about “the last election we ever have” He means the last election HE will have - because he’ll be too old and in jail and unable to run again.
This is also projection - recall that he urged voters they’ll only need to vote one more time. He 100% will attempt to install himself and his family as permanent dictators if elected and the Supreme Court will let him do it. Don’t believe he won’t and don’t believe Republican lawmakers aren’t craven enough to facilitate this. He looks up to Putin and Kim Jong-Un because he thinks they have a sweet deal as dictators for life.
I'd hazard a guess he always uses the royal we, I haven't analyzed it in depth but he really can't think outside himself. No imagination what so ever,all his attacks are just whatever he does or thought of (well maybe some aides helped). I imagine if I knew more about narcissism it'd tie in there but I have zero studying to comment on that.
If he wasn't such an asshole with zero self awareness, it'd be enough to pity him, but he is so fuck Trump.
For more evidence of the royal we just look at when he was president and insert Trump anytime he says the United States. Not directed at who I replied to but to other readers.
Yes exactly. In his mind Trump = America. There is no separation. Americans are super close to having a king again 😬
