Trump the Tyrant

For John, BLUF:  This week the media has been talking about the potential for Donald J Trump in a dictator in his second term.  They do know he voluntarily left the White House in January 2023, don't they.  Nothing to see here; just move along.

Here is the lede plus one:

THE NEW YORK TIMES IS CONCERNED TRUMP MIGHT DO WHAT BIDEN HAS BEEN DOING: “He has threatened to use the power of the presidency against his political opponents, including President Joe Biden and Biden’s family.”

I mean, I know these people are utterly lacking in self-awareness, but. . . .

Yes, last night he joked with News Host Sean Hannity about issuing orders to stop illegal immigrants and to drill, first day in office.  He then said, aside from those two executive orders he would stay calm in office.

On the other hand, he was been badly abused, in and out of office, by the Fifth Estate, the permanent bureaucracy.  Even President Biden is finding that the bureaucrats have a mind of their own and don't like to be contridicted.
