In case you are slow on the uptake...
A dictator must have a national crisis and preferably many at al times. Never-mind whether that national crisis is entirely of his own making. Trump has at least a handful going now.
1.All of the sudden the nation has a rampant corruption and fraud problem in the federal government. (never mind that Trump has been running the federal government for 4 of the last 8 years)
2. we have a national emergency with an invasion at both the northern and southern borders
3. Our allies and our friends are now our enemies that need to be punished.
4. Our American Judges need to be purged and ignored. constitutional crisis.
5. The United States is starting trade wars and threatening military action in at least 4 different global areas.
All of this is to distract you from the fact that the dictator has no answers on how to govern in a way to benefit citizens. And the dictator uses these national crisis as huge power grabs citing extraordinary circumstances needing to do things differently .
Expect this to increase as Trump introduces more chaos and self caused crisis.
Dictator just for one day. Right trumpers?
