What will Trump's first major action be as a dictator?

Yeah, yeah, he'll do an endzone dance, but after that? I'm guessing he'll toss a major treat of some sort to Vlad. Second guess: do something really bad to Social Security or Medicare.

Sadly, the possibilities are endless.

convince his base that the same benefits they have paid into are causing them problems. They'll shout "u.s.a, u s a " and toss their medicaid, medicare, social security, education, SNAP, clean water and air into the trash heap of history.

Gaud, I just realized it sounded like meth heads are trying to run our country.

He will declare the election null and void. The Electoral college will not meet, and Congress will not certify.

“Get even with people. If they screw you, screw them back 10 times as hard. I really believe it.” - https://www.motherjones.com/politics/2016/10/donald-trump-obsessed-with-revenge/

The silver lining is that obsessive anger is corrosive to the hater. For Trump, petty, vindictive anger and revenge at any cost are both his favorite drug cocktail and — eventually — will be his undoing.

Mf45 knows he will lose in a massive landslide. So he wil not allow that to happen.

That said between now and November we must make his life as miserable as possible portraying him as a drug addled stupid buffoon.
