Trump openly craves the kind of power Kim Jong-un wields -- stop telling yourself that he's joking
https://www.rawstory.com/2018/06/trump-openly-craves-kind-power-kim-jong-un-wields-stop-telling-hes-joking/snip of article:
There is a tendency among the punditocracy to dismiss President Trump’s authoritarian rhetoric as nothing more than red meat for his worshipful base: passing Twitter tantrums or hyperbolic salesmanship. He’s been doing it from the moment he announced his run for president, when he insulted Latino immigrants as rapists. It continued through the campaign as he endorsed torture, summary executions and banning Muslims from the country. His ongoing paeans to ruthless dictators from Russia’s Vladimir Putin to the Philippines’ Rodrigo Duterte to his recent love fest with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-un appear to show a genuine admiration and respect for the most ruthless and violent tyrants on the planet.
another snip of the article:
Trump admires those men for their willingness and ability to mercilessly rule their countries with an iron fist. His most recent comment about Kim, for instance, even betrays a little envy:
Hey, he is the head of a country, and I mean he is the strong head. Don’t let anyone think anything different. He speaks, and his people sit up at attention. I want my people to do the same.

"without bloodshed or military coup".
There will be bloodshed the American people are not succumbing to this POS. Also if this was to happen how many people would try to flee the country or would they. Would they close the Canada/America border I wouldn't doubt it.
