There is a gaping whole in your argument. It presumes normality.

Trump will appoint sycophants. They will, by and large, be incompetent, but loyal. They will also be protected by a promise of presidential pardon. So Trump will be immune, and he will pardon anyone who carries out his orders (should they get into legal trouble).

Like I said, SCOTUS just gave us a king.**




**I'm reminded of a movie. I forget which one. Medieval times, a person carried a parchments with the royal seal saying "the bearer has done what he has done with my approval" (or words to that effect). That's what we're in for if Trump wins.***


***And, frankly, a corrupt Dem candidate could do it, too. The immunity ruling was a travesty that -if not reversed- will eventually lead to the end of our democracy.
