He seems to be convinced that he's some kind of emperor, though. He'll be shown otherwise!

15. Trump would like to shut down most of the media.

It will never happen, but it reminds me of the most crucial tactic by Hitler and the Nazis... they made it illegal to criticize them. So Germans not fond of them soon learned to keep their mouths shut, especially with Hitler-loving neighbors (like Trump cultists today) who would report them for violating that law.

Trump's advisors, former or current, often don't understand the limits of executive power either:

Most every single one of them will do it again in November.

They are the pariah. He is the tool. Enabled by so many people, he wields power so destructive that we are literally on the brink of the Mother of All Constitutional Disasters, which follows dozens of prior constitutional disasters visited upon one Donald J Trump over the span of 3+ years.

Assuming we are able to jettison his flabby carcass in January 2021, we must as our first order of business seek the truth about Mr. Trump's actions over the course of the past 4 years to best consider whether laws were broken and what punishment best applies and dole that punishment out with patriotic fervor.

The real battle is in the post-Trump future: preventing such a fascist uprising from ever manifesting in our country again.
