It's less Trump himself than the sycophants he surrounds himself with who are the danger. They're making the plans, his hand would just be the one signing the executive orders or bills they ultimately craft.

Yeah, Trump isn't smart enough to be a dictator. The clowns around him though....

Trump sucks, but he is far from stupid.  Unfortunately he is smart, and convinced a bunch of blue collar good old boys that he gives two shits about them.  He has played the Christian conservatives like a fiddle.  The stupid people are those that unquestionably believe whatever Trump says.

I vehemently disagree. I do not see a competent authoritarian in Trump. I see someone who says things with no knowledge of what he is talking about. I see someone who did not ever effectively govern as leader. I see someone who knows how to profit off of other other people. It doesn't take much intelligence to con US Christians and blue collar workers. Not to mention his clear mental, cognitive and intellectual impairments and handicaps.
