lawfare and traitors undermined any good he tried. on occasion the court sided with his common sense orders.
and now it is my hope that we do get that alexander the great western civilization needs.

We are dealing with political and social systems hopelessly falling apart. That is a natural process, once complexity of the system overgrowth c&c capacity of the governing contour.
In such situation, you have two options - attempt to patch the rotten sails, or set the new ones. That is not a dictatorship, that is like changing tires - a necessary action to replace disposable components of the system to be fixed.
Truly an administrative job, and you are right - Trump could have not have support within existing model. Germs on your skin would rather stay alive and keep using your body, but you wash them away

I am watching him talking now. Still talk and talk and talk... whining and bitching, no decisive statements.
