Trump. Becoming Authoritarian, PART !!

Donald Trump, we can all agree, likes having power, and either wants to become an authoritarian president, or already has. There are certain steps necessary to achieve this, and, arguably, Trump has already taken them all, or is about to. The first step is to expand his own power as president, which in essence means expanding the power of the office of the presidency for future presidents, since everything that an American president does is a precedent for future chief executives. The first step is, and has been for Trump, to expand the executive power of the president, by taking actions as president which are highly questionable in terms of being legal,arguable either way. Then, assuem and take a chance that Congress will do nothing about it, nothing to stop or reign in an activist, questionably constitutional presedent. And indeed, Trump has blatantly overstepped his authority, pushed the boundaries of what is legal beyond what is reasonable, and audaciously acted in violation of the law and the legislative branch,upon numerous ocassions. So far, he has gotten away with it. A vital step towards an American president becoming an authoritarian president is to "capture" the other two branches of government, most eaisly by simply having a majority of their members, members of the judiciary, and members of congress, of the same political party and political proclivities as the president, to serves as his rubber stamp,rather than offering any opposition to his agenda and policies. An authoritarian president in the U.S. would need to have Congress and the courts on his side, as Trump certainly does. In fact, Trump, for all intents and purposes, has both Congress and SCOTUS eating out of the palm of his lecherous hand. Nexy, a would be pesieential tyrnat must break, ruin, destroy the power of the rest of the federal government, including Congress, SCOTUS, and all the executive and legislative agencies which operate freely. Break the government, fire everybody, and replace the vanquished with loyalists, precisely as Trump has done. Install all around you and throughout the immese bureaucratic apparatus of the government with legions of groveling, sycohantic, pandering loyalists, just as Trump has done and continues to do. Currently, the U.S. government is Trump's government. A successful, effective authoritarian American president must attack truth and free expression, neither of which are likely to be on his side. A successful tyrant in the modern world needs a strong, crafty, shrewd propaganda machine behind him, supporting him, just as Trump has. Not only must our petty tyrant attack and discredit truth to govern authoritatively, but he must invent, create and promulgate an entirely alternate reality, and spoon feed it to his cleverly oppressed subjects. Part of this includes creating an enemy, an enemy of the great leader, and therefore an enemy of the people, and of the state, and the nation. Trump, as you know, is a master at creating and accumulating enemies. He seems to enjoy it, and does it remarkably well. Vulnerable communities must be scapegoated, blamed for the fuhrer's failures. Trump really has it in for the "radical extreme left", of which there is actually little to none in America. The final step in the elevation of an elected president to that of petty authoritarian tyrant involves the use of state violence, and the normalization of it. Every protest against Der Fuhrer is a riot, and must be quelled, immediately. Trump is doing a decent job, by the book, of cleverly, subtlely, sneakily elevating imself to an authoritarian head of state. We'll see how far we the American people let him continue his pathway to authoritarianism.
