Well yeah. I bring this up a bit but after President Xi made himself president for life during, Trump said “maybe we should try that sometime.” He said it in a somewhat jokingly way, but you could tell he was dead serious and gauging his audience reaction to it.

I’m reminded of a very prescient joke that Seth Meyers told on his show back in 2016 that we were about to elect our first woman president ever (Clinton), or our last president ever (Trump).

Very chilling what Trump is proposing here with being the sole authority. You know damn well he doesn’t actually want to work or evaluate things on a case by case basis. This will be a stream of overlapping edicts, each one trying to undo the logical inconsistency of the last edict because he can’t think through to the natural conclusion beyond his petty resentments.

I am terrified he will get elected again

And ~50% of American people who will actually vote will check that box and be fine with it. I wish I could say I had faith in my fellow Americans to not do that, but look how 2016 turned out.
