I think Trump wants to be more than a dictator. He wants to be an arms dealer. But he needs to start a war. He already overcharges the US for personal expenses. And the republicans let it happen. Next step, suspend elections.

Trump is in the midst of the most intrusive, outrageous, dangerous individual power grab in US history. He is, backed thus far by a corrupt and complicit Supreme Court, trying to establish a monarchy in the US, asserting the president both is the law and is above the law. Itâs what dictators do.
