Will you have a situation where when you pass the congress building you have to say "Heil Trump" like they did with that Beer hall?
I think that is the part he really, really wants.
That and the abilty to have absolute power over everyone and everything in America no matter what. I'm just waiting until an EO is signed where he replaces the line "and for the Republic for which it stands" in the Pledge of Allegiance to "and it's President, Donald J. Trump."
The pledge itself, inho as a dirty filthy Jock from the UK, is a bridge too far, making kids pledge to the fucking Government. I live in the UK, we literally have a King, the only big nationalistic thing we did was learn Flower of Scotland in Assembly one friday, not God Save the Queen (as it was then), Flower of Scotland. We never sang it again except once where everyone sang it spontaneously when we crossed the border coming home from a Trip to London.
I kind of appreciate it. It reminds us of what we're supposed to stand for.
"and to the republic for which it stands" "one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all"
If we had lived up to that, the world would be a better place.
I get that, but for literally everyone outside of America, we find it hella creepy. Like North Korean level creepy.
Turning point has been hailing victory for like 4 years at this point.
