There are no secret dictator powers. All the powers needed by a dictator are in the open. Any president has the power to be a dictator unless something stops him. So what stops a president from becoming a dictator?
1. Belief in something greater than yourself; an ideal that transcends generations, and a strong desire to preserve it.
2. Love for your country, respect for the Constitution and the rule of law, and loyalty to the American people.
3. Honor, honesty, a sense of duty, and a strong commitment to service to others, particularly the powerless.
4. The House of Representatives
5. The Senate
6. The Supreme Court
In that order. If all those fail, you have a dictator. We are down to number 6 now, so we will see. The founders hoped that no person who did not embody the first three would ever become President. That was the intended purpose of the Electoral College, an ill-thought-out institution that frequently fails in its purpose.
In other news, Trump plans to establish a panel to eliminate Generals and Admirals not sufficiently loyal to him. As commander in chief, Trump can fire any officer at will, but under a proposed executive order, an outside board whose members he appoints would bypass the Pentagon’s regular promotion system, signaling across the military that he intends to purge a number of generals and admirals he deems disloyal.
How strange the guy who thinks people who are killed or captured in the defense of our country are losers and suckers, thinks he knows how to run the military.
In an interview on Russian state media, Putin’s presidential aide, Nikolay Patrushev, was asked what the US election would mean for Russia, his reply was:
“To achieve success in the election, Donald Trump relied on certain forces to which he has corresponding obligations. As a responsible person, he will be obliged to fulfill them.”
Mark Paoletta, head of Trump’s DOJ transition team, informed Justice Department lawyers Monday that those who refuse to advance Trump’s agenda should resign or they will be fired. ““Once the decision is made to move forward, career employees are required to implement the President’s plan,” Paoletta wrote in a post on X.
It does not sound like an Independent Justice Department to me.
Matt Gatez for Attorney General. Can you get more disgusting? I guess he and Trump do have a lot in common; particularly when it comes to young women and how they treat them.

All sounds good to me! I like “adults in charge” instead of “safe zone fragility.” Rollin’, rollin’, rollin’ . . .
Amen

Yes President Trump will take men out of women’s sports. Such a dictator.
