He truly believes that as president he can do anything that comes into his damaged mind. Who is to stop him?

If he wants the Panama Canal back, what is to stop him from dispatching the most powerful military in the world to forcibly take it? Simple answer, nothing (short of a major constitutional crisis whereby the military refuses to carry out what would clearly an illegal order). National security is always a handy catch all for violence. Sounds absurd, but the idea of Trump as president is absurd.
