President Trump opened up the 2020 Republican National Convention in Charlotte, NC with a speech that got the crowd going.
The crowd began to chant “four more years”, but Trump offered a better suggestion to the ecstatic audience.
“Now if you really want to drive ‘em crazy you say 12 more years,” President Trump said in jest.
The crowd then began to chant “12 more years”.
“Because we caught them doing some really bad things in 2016. Let’s see what happens. We caught ‘em doing some really bad things,” Trump continued.
“We have to be very careful because they are trying it again with this whole 80 million mail-in ballots that they’re working on. Sending ‘em out to people who didn’t ask for them. They didn’t ask. They just get ‘em and it’s not fair, it’s not right,” explained Trump.
“It’s not going to be possible to tabulate in my opinion. In my opinion, it’s just my opinion. You have to be careful and you have to watch everyone,” he concluded.

Trump was right.
It drove them crazy.
Various Democrats and members of the media lost it:
Don't fall for Trump's "joke": he's not kidding about 12 more years. My dispatch from day one of the virtual RNC. https://t.co/dmfVJQLCdq

Autocrats create one-person parties of their own (as Putin did) or reduce once-vibrant parties to personality cults (see: Viktor Orban in Hungary). The no-platform GOP now joins them, offering no ideas, just fealty to “12 more years” #Trump.

Trump: "If you wanna really drive 'em crazy, you say 12 more years."
Our veterans have fought and died serving our country to protect us from dictators who think this way.
Trump deserves at least 12 more years in prison.

Trump just kicked off the RNC by calling for "12 more years."
After years of kissing up to oppressive dictators, he's determined to become one himself.
We must all unite to deny Trump's destructive, megalomaniac vision of the future. By his own words, our democracy is at stake.

Trump (who seems quite excited about getting to do four days of faux rally) arrives at the @GOPconvention and gets the crowd to chant "12 more years." TWELVE. He's going full Putin, apparently. And his party is cool with it.

It’s incredible; President Trump can draw up a play, tell the other team exactly what he is doing, and they still fall for it.
Trump was right again, it really did drive them up a wall, but it’s not too hard to fool stupid people.
AND THAT IS A BINGO SAM…..
up yours liar, we don’t need your kind of scum on this comments page.
So why are you here?
Jimbob – People like you and the other dummies who commented above are what’s wrong with this country. Too quick to accuse; too quick to assume; and, way too dumb to have an intelligent idea. Twelve (12) more years refers to 4 for Trump and 8 for Pence.
Their hatred for President Trump drives their every thought. So sad for them.
Bunch of mental cases. Democrats
Socialcrats can accuse the POTUS of being autocratic but he wouldn’t be the first one. FDR was in office more than three full terms and was started on his fourth when he died and the American people loved it! I was there when it happened. I hope Don Jr follows in hiss father’s footsteps for 8 more yearss and then chzange the law back to Roosevellt’s time so Trumps can stay in as long as they want it.
I kinda love it….hehehehe….watching them go more crazy, that is!!!
See them flapping their jaws over this! Always the same hateful Liberals without a sense of humor!!
I thought this was so funny. It was a joke, and they grabbed hold of it and ran with it, making it into something else. There is NO humor in the Demoncrap camp. If one of them ever smiled besides the grimaces they give to the cameras, their faces would fall off. So sad for them. Ha.!!!!!!
There can be no humor when all there is is HATE! The two simply cannot exist at the same time!
Trump is awesome, especially when he gets under globalists and globalist puppet $oro$ and globalist puppet democrat criminal party and globalist puppet rino criminal party and globalist media and libby snow flake looters and rioters and arsonists, skin .
“four more years” Ha! TWELVE MORE … MIKE PENCE GETS 8 MORE FOLLOWING !
Trump is right, it will take 12 more yrs to fix the damage, obummer and slo,joe did to our country. So sure, we’ll keep Trump for 8 more yrs for sure,we have to make up for the last 4 yrs they obstructed,framed,impeached,and spygate, by the traitor,bathhouse barry and minions. U just can’t talk to stupid. Their suffering from TDS, and unfortunately there’s no cure, but jumping ship, with the rest of the rats.
How about 100 years more of patriotic rule commiecrats ?
Donald Trump, Jr and Nikki Haley in 2024!
Trump could fart and they would try and impeach him
lol….that is great!
Ditto! Hilarious.
He keeps playing the Democrats like a kazoo and the results are always spectacular!
David Leavitt was right about one thing: Our veterans have fought and died to protect this country from dictators. They ALSO fought and died to protect this country from becoming a Socialist society!!! And, by the way, we are NOT a Democracy — we are a Republic!! We PRACTICE Democracy! Apparently even many of our esteemed so-called ‘legislators” don’t know the difference!
FDR was in his fourth term when he died. Because of the Russia and impeachment farces Trump should continue to run for as long as he wants.
HE LOVES TROLLING THE HALF-WITS. DOESN’T HE?
Who doesn’t? I do it to my democrat sister-in-law and her daughter(my niece) all the time now. When they posted pics of themselves-unmasked- at a BLM protest after giving me hell about not wearing a mask while riding my horse in a pasture alone…I decided the gloves were coming off. My niece has become a half-wit elementary teacher regurgitating leftist dogma to her students. She’s lived a sheltered, idealistic upper-middle class life…let’s see how things go when she gets “mainstreamed” from her upper-class Johns Creek school to the real world of inner-city Atlanta. Whose cell phone went off in the backpack won’t be the biggest problem of her day. Been there!
Trump just loves baiting the left, and they fall for it every time. Not hard to rile up stupid slime-o-crats.
