He has no one holding him back anymore, doesn’t have to worry about releection (one way or another) and is at death’s door. He will definitely try to do a lot of terrible shit, more than last time.
He also has the other two branches of government on his side. He can get away with pretty much anything and he doesn’t care about the law. None of them do.
A third term would not be off the table… this is how any other dictator started off… once elected, change the rules about term limits. Heck he might even want to rebrand the term dictator and make it a good thing
Like it or not, he’s about to be put back in charge of the world’s most powerful military and possibly about to crash the biggest economy. Plus the whole starting new genocides and supporting old ones thing. It’s kind of a big deal and you probably shouldn’t ignore it.
Originally, dictator was just ordinary political position in the Roman Republic given to temporary magistrates to deal with state crises. Until it was abused.

What’s the difference between a king and a dictator?
How you’re remembered.
He already said he would be a dictator. So I think that’s how he wants to be remembered.
It’s sad that he even influences our behavior here on lemmy. What are the majority of posts about? Trump…
I don’t want this man in my life, goddamn

I know - just see what’s already happening, BEFORE he’s in charge again

You’re right. He won’t try to rebrand dictatorship. He might try to become a king though!
