I thought it was kind of odd when Trump joked that maybe the US should experiment with getting rid of term limits.
The joke he made was clearly to enrage us leftists, but it also reeked of a man who doesn't fully grasp this new situation, which is actually scary.
It was odd because China is an extremely advanced country and Xi Xinping made an extremely undemocratic, dictatorial move by abolishing term limits.
So now we have the makings of a dictator leading the largest country on Earth, commanding an extremely technologically-advanced military.
The cynic in me makes me think I don't understand Trump's joke because maybe he knows something I don't. The paranoid in me wonders, if Trump really is so misinformed.
