Trump is like the closest you can get to that situation and he's not very close at all.
Not even remotely. #DiaperDon is grossly incompetent and his own worst enemy. I think there's a high probability we see a competent version of him try to seize power within the next three elections, making many of the same maneuvers but without his many inadequacies.
I agree. I think that Ron DeSantis would be the more competent version of Donald Trump and could become defacto dictator if the 22nd Amendment was overturned (which is likely considering that the Republicans could end up with 68 Senate seats and 300 House seats after 2024 and could also flip all but 10 state legislatures by 2023).
