@beckyromero Trump's just the puppet, no one sane of mind would consider him capable of installing himself as a dictator. At most you could say that about who moves the strings, but even there, someone who picked Trump for that role is either desperate or equally stupid.

@Elessar over 70 million US citizens voted for him and polls suggest he is the candidate of choice to nearly 50 of those able to vote today.

@samueltyler2 The electorate being dumb doesn't make the dictator intelligent. Those 70 million people are just victims of propaganda, and the propaganda that tells them to vote Trump isn't manufactured by Trump. A sizable amount of it is manufactured in Moscow, for instance.
