2. Trump wants to be the US Putin.

He wants the power to have people who criticize him executed with no repercussions for himself. He wants to continue bilking millions of dollars from taxpayers. He seeks the praise and admiration of the world’s most ruthless dictators—Putin, Orban, Xi, Kim, MBS.

We had enough guardrails that held from 2017 to 2020 to prevent him from accomplishing his desires. But if he wins (or is illegally installed by the House or the SC), the leaders of Project 2025 already have their plan for eliminating every guardrail. They are just as dangerous as Trump, or perhaps more so since their power as kingmakers is what’s important.
