    Well, let’s see what Trump has said about that:

    “We are going to win four more years. And then after that, we’ll go for another four years because they spied on my campaign. We should get a redo of four years.”

    or how about

    “I have to the right to do whatever I want as president.”

    or

    “A Massive Fraud of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution.”

    or how about when he admired Xi Jinping:

    “He’s now president for life. President for life. And he’s great. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll give that a shot someday.”

      Exactly. If Trump becomes President then we’ll still have elections, but they’ll be like the Russian elections. You can vote for Trump or you can go to prison. At best, votes against Trump wouldn’t be counted. Trump would “win” all future elections with 99% of the vote.

      And after Trump passes away, the reins of power would be transferred to some other dictator who would carry on this “American tradition” of imprisoning opponents and rigging elections.
