The prospect of a dictator
Your front page story recently asked “What’s to come on Day One?” All Trump needs or wants is to be elected so he can keep his promise to “ … not be a dictator except for Day One,” because on Day One, his FIRST act as Dictator Trump will be to declare the U.S. Constitution suspended or abolished or null and void from this moment on.
Then he doesn’t take the oath of office to uphold a Constitution that is no longer viable, relevant or applicable. He declares himself Dictator for Life, emulating the other autocrats around the world that he so admires and envies. Then he proceeds to abolish the Supreme Court, the Congress, the FBI, all the other Federal agencies, bureaus, offices, etc. that he promised. As dictator he orders the military to do his bidding, to protect him, to keep out of federal property employees of the now-extinct branches and offices of government, etc.
He releases the Jan. 6 criminals (oops, hostages) He starts rounding up and shipping out the immigrants and he does all the other things he promised that were/are in violation of current laws, rules, regulation, etc.
Who or what is there to challenge him? How do you challenge a dictator?
