Donald Trump's affection for the Mussolini statement, "It is better to live one day as a lion than 100 years as a sheep." reveals a mindset very much at odds with the Framers of our U.S. Constitution.
To the Framers, power was something they wanted to minimize, in every government office and officeholder.

Funny they never criticized Obola for his “I have a pen and a phone” comment, which is pretty much the same lust for unbridled power.
See who the media is lying against Trump .
Trump is who we should support!
Trump will stop TPP!
Trump will stop China
Trump will stop illegals with the wall
The media , Rubio,the GOPe etc. all want trump out because Trump is for America and for freedom.
They all want to inundate the USA with hundreds of millions of 3rd world socialist immigrants. TPP does this.
If Trump is able to overcome the media lies and become president Trump will save the USA.
Trump if he can pull it off will save America from Cruz, Rubio, Jebb or Hillary all of which would have produced the exact same results the destruction of the USA by not stopping the flood of illegals and immigrants.
Trump is the only one I trust out of those running or that ran. Truly Trump will do a heroic thing risking his fortune and success to literally save us from falling in the abyss. Trump is a modern day William Wallace of braveheart only 10 billion times better. if he can become president we will all owe him our freedom , and property and lives.
Definitely Obama had the USA at the tipping point and with TPP etc. They would have destroyed the USA sending it into the abyss. But at the last second Trump arrives , really the only person in the world that i see that could have done it, saved us, and the only person in Washington that is not corrupt or bought off by the globalists and marxists.
Trump is our last hope
TPP : “The Trans-Pacific Partnership includes an entire chapter on immigration. It is a Trojan horse for Obama’s immigration agenda.”
Really? I just thought it was a quote about the value of courage.
I’m waiting for Trump to announce that he is “Ready to rule”.

You wonder why politicians do not go into detail about their vision, it is because people like this will cherry pick words and phrases and create straw men to beat down.
As others have noted, it is a quote, one that many of us would agree to. The meaning is clear, one which our founding fathers would understand.
Trump is simply saying:
DON’T BE SHEEP!
He’s saying that TO US! (Good advice)
The excerpt here is verbatim from the opening sentences of The Ghost of Freeper Past’s OP earlier.

I guess, the ‘me and various others’ he was talking about is possibly the source you cite here.
Set aside the fact that it was a Fascist that said it, it’s a pretty good quote. One day of courage is a hell of a lot better than 100 years as a mind-numbed, gutless sheeple.
Trump’s “Everything is negotiable” is the same red flag as Jimmy Carter’s “Trump is completely MALLEABLE” comment. Trump is as spineless as a jellyfish.
“Trump is our last hope”
Wow.
God is our hope.
Trump is just some guy with funny hair that talks loud.
Not everything that Benny the Moose made as a statement was wrong or indicative of tyrannical rule. There is something very much of Imperial Rome in Il Duce’s statement of a principle that could have been lifted right from the Old Testament, and was certainly known in the pre-Christian world.
There is a moment for ferocity, and there is the languid period of submission and obedience. The motto “Live Free or Die” is very much of the same sentiment.
Living in submission is not freedom. No matter how much passivity is prettied up and held forth to be some kind of ideal, it remains some kind of death of the soul.
Various others is: Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Paine, Samuel Adams, etc ... all the people I quoted. They are the eloquent ones. I just pieced it together.
That’s not a Mussoline statement.
Mussoline was quoting a Roman philosopher.
I was curious because the later post attributed the same article you wrote to a “RAT Patrol” over at the link. Is that you?
That’s pretty damned stupid.
It wasn’t “a fact that said it”.
It was “a fascist that quoted a famous inspirational slogan from the first world War. “

As a criticism, this is pretty thin gruel.
