Trump was merely the clownish warm-up act, an infantile halfwit incapable of coherent thought and incapable of planning ahead. The Republican president who does become Dictator For Life will be more capable and will stack the military, the intelligence services, and other key positions with his loyal followers before staging his coup - which will of course be presented as "saving the nation from tyranny and lies" and hailed as a thoroughly democratic exercise. The Republican Party will back it to the hilt and at least 74 million dull-witted dupes (e.g. Republican voters) will cheer to the rafters. Meanwhile the Democrats will continue to be totally useless and preoccupied with absurdities and so no meaningful opposition will be possible.
