It doesn’t matter as much what Trump is planning to do with his powers. He’s old and on the way out whether he likes it or not. The real problem is what the people set to take over when he’s gone plan to do with them. Does Trump set up his successor or does his ego force him to shut the door behind him? Our best chance at normalcy in a post Trump world might just be that he’s so unbelievably mean spirited that he takes his potential rivals down with him when the time comes.
