No one took him serious when he claimed he would be reelected earlier in the year 2024.

No one took him serious when he claimed he had all the votes and that he can make it so that there would be no need to vote again.

No one took him serious when he said he'd get away with shooting someone on Times Square.

No one took him serious when he handled a firearm while under various felony indictments and lawsuits.

No one took him serious when he claimed full immunity before the supreme court.

No one took him serious when he said dictators are great people and his friends.

No one took him serious after he said he had had multiple talks with those dictators about US foreign policy while he was a private citizen.

No one took him serious on him wanting to be a dictator on day 1.

No one took him serious when he said drill baby drill.

No one took him serious when he said he didn't care if his vice president would have been lynched.

No one took him serious when his actions clearly designated him as an insurrectionist as stated in the constitution.

No one took him serious when he said he de-classified documents just by saying so and could do whatever with them because they were his.

No one took him serious when he started claiming land belonging to other allied countries.

No one takes him serious when his remarks and wishes go against the constitution.

All this without sitting in the white house....

So when will it be time to take him serious? Far after when it is too late?

I don't think it's that no one is taking him seriously, it's that the wrong people ARE taking him seriously
