Today Trumplethinskin said we should have speedy trials like they do in China.

Also on Fox and Friends, Trump weighed in on how criminal cases should proceed. He said prosecutions should move more quickly and that the United States should become more like China. “We have to have quick trials,” he said on “Fox & Friends.” “I call it quick trials because in China, they do have quick trials. You know, they don’t wait six years.”


If we had speedy trials back in 2021 he would be in a prison cell today. So maybe he's not wrong, just late.

If we had speedy trials "like China", Trump would already be lying in a grave, minus vital organs (if medical science still wanted them).

So... it's a case of "Be careful what you ask for".

But now that Trump is quickly consolidating power as a dictator, he doesn't have much to worry about..... unless, of course, what happens to most dictators happens to him. (for contemporary example, see today's news about Bolsonaro)

I'm sure that haunting possibility keeps him awake at night. And so he's already caught in the dictator's dilemna..... increasing repression of the population to protect himself, which in turn increases the unrest among the population, which in turn increases the repression.

In the end, the person most responsible for Trump's eventual arrest and trial may well be Stephen Miller. Miller does seem to be goading the president into hurrying the process along a bit faster.
