I think he is secretly hoping for some (failed, of course) assassination attempt so he can tar conservatives, and then bully the rest, like Caesar did, into passing his legislation -- constitutions be damned.
I think he is deliberately baiting conservatives especially, with that end in view -- hence the wagyu beef, the constant references to racism and imputations of same to conservatives, beating up on Texas (oh, yes, it's a definite campaign). He wants conservatives to act out so he can suspend the Constitution like Lincoln did and impose a kinetic solution.
I am not talking about assassination, but just to make it clear that he is not a king or emperor
