Presidential historian foresees "disastrous end" for Donald Trump

38. I see issues with every one of those points, although they all, are certainly relevant.

1. The communication network is run by competing egos with conflicting agendas. It is a rats nest of crossed wires and a bottomless pit of lies, deceit and misinformation. That's not a strength when it comes to communication. It just causes confusion.

2. I don't believe Trump has unconditional support from more than maybe 15% of the electorate. The rest will dump him like a hot potato when the economic pain hits. And secure economic pain is inevitable if Trump carries out his promises, particularly in the heartland that believed his lies.

3. Theoretically the president has a good deal of authority over law enforcement entity (DOJ/FBI) and military (DOD), but it is not anywhere near "total." The military, in particular, is very resistant to the whims of a fool. It is filled with people who have devoted their lives to defending the US, and if Trump does anything to put the country in danger, and you can be sure he will, they will balk.

4. Yes, corrupt judges appointed by Trump have already caused a great deal of damage, but Obama and Biden appointed many judges who will stick to the rule of law. SCOTUS is conservative, but they have a majority that will draw the line at Patently unconstitutional presidential decrees. Some of them already have.
