Former President Donald Trump has been very clear in his intentions. He has vowed to go after his political opponents, and to use the Justice Department to do so. He told Univision, "If I happen to be president and I see somebody who's doing well and beating me very badly, I say go down and indict them. ... They would be out of business. They'd be out. They'd be out of the election." (snip)
Trump's promised to continue his assault on the freedom of religion and separation of church and state, not just pledging to expand the Muslim ban (or "travel ban") he imposed during his first administration, but vowing to go after atheists as well, who he declared to be part of the forces of "evil."
"Together, we're warriors in a righteous crusade to stop the arsonists, the atheists, globalists and the Marxists," Trump told Faith & Freedom Coalition last year, employing his usual apocalyptic language, "And we will restore our Republic as one nation under God with liberty and justice for all." Think he's not serious? To further this goal, he wants all immigrant to have "ideological screening." How much will the MAGA ideology play into this?
Trump's promised to also gut federal agencies so that he can put in MAGA loyalists. (snip)
He's attacked free speech, calling the press the "enemy of the people" and repeatedly threatening to sue reporters who speak out against him. He's also promised to go after media that criticizes him, like MSNBC, declaring that the government "should come down hard on them and make them pay for their illegal political activity." In Trump's previous term, recall, he even considered shooting protesters.
Trump's shown kleptocratic tendencies, using his political support to enrich himself and his family.

Would be pretty easy to get Biden to call himself a dictator. Just tell him Trump will do it first.
No, that was Obama, followed by his student-predecessor, Biden.
Heck! It’s too late for that. Biden/Obama has beat him to it!
We are NOT a democracy.
Looks like a total ass.
I would definitely trust that guy........
And to answer his question: My tagline.
He should be a dictator for a bit, but he won't. And if by MIRACLE he gets elected again, which he likely won't, he will BLOW IT AGAIN LIKE HE DID THE FIRST TIME.
Gosh I hope so. And I hope Ross is the first douchenozzle that El Presidente I’l Donaldo tosses into the gulag.
Who forced Americans to take experimental drugs or lose their jobs, health care, and maybe even custody of their children?
Who is trying to jail his rival candidate and keep the others from running against him?
Who has jailed protestors for years without a trial?

At this point? I’m fine with that. I’m well past the point of wishing someone would bring the hammer down good and hard on these leftist devils.

Will he mandate shots and masks or lose your job?
If elected the Dims will declare anything Trump does as acts of a “dictator”, whether it is legal, or approved by Congress or approved by the courts, they will simply repeat “dictator, dictator, dictator” all the time.
What they are really complaining and worrying about is not the loss of “democracy” just their loss of power.
Sweet baby cthulhu does NO ONE read history any more.
Projection Alert.
we can only hope!
Well, to some people, probably a few on Free Republic its going to seem like it.
Trump’s promised to also gut federal agencies so that he can put in MAGA loyalists.
It can’t happen fast enough act fast save America.
