Those would be contradictory characteristics.
Every fascist dictator in history banned guns.
Trump might try. He's already talked about it.
But no president has commanded an army as powerful as ours. The armed citizenry is no match in both hardware and logistics. People who think the second amendment is a check on tyranny are fooling themselves.
No, he will not. This is a certainty that I already pointed out to you thousands of posts ago.
Trump is a complete 100% pure unadulterated coward. There is zero chance that he would ever try something that would put him at risk of physical harm. You may think that his stupidity may trump his cowardice here in that he may not understand the risk to his own physical well being in trying to take over. But Trump has a certain reptilian survival instinct that, regardless of how stupid he is, will save him from anything that might result in pain above and beyond a paper cut.
