He might have said that line due to his mental decay, but it's still troubling. I wouldn't be surprized if he either used his new found powers to make himself the king of the US, or just discontinued the elections due to some sham "emergency measures". If any of these comes true, the worlds only hope is that allegedly the US military is more left-leaning, at least compared to the US police that is packed full of ex-KKK members and ex-skinheads.

The main reason not to worry too much about Trump staying in office after this term is that his health makes it very unlikely that he will survive significantly longer than this term based on age alone. Or in other words even as a dictator for life he wouldn't last much longer than roughly one term. The real question is what kind of damage he can do to the system within that time.

The issue is, who comes after him, and in what way. Will it be an election, will it be one of his deadbeat sons, or JD Vance?
