Because you now did it to yourself.

    I honestly believe that he will manufacture an event (civil war, massive civil unrest, etc.) in order to declare martial law and suspend elections before his term is up. He might also extend term limits, and make it possible to serve more than two terms. Any elections after that will likely be just for show, like in Russia.

      But you realize that he can only do what people let him? Things like the second amendment exist so that if the people want to disband/replace the existing government they can. Everyone in the military is a person with free will too. And if he tries to run for a third term, I think that there will be more than just 2 or 3 attempts on his life. It’s valid to believe he will try, but there is simply nothing meaningful or lasting he can do. He’s just another millionaire after fame and fortune, I don’t think he’s willing to get shot for it.
