Look, he's already demonstrated that not only does he know nothing about democratic norms or our system of checks and balances, he doesn't care; and when he has noticed them, he hates them.
I think the Republicans are on board with the idea: as long as he's a willing tool who will enact their agenda and turn the U.S. into an oligarchy, they'll back him. That's what the Republican party has become.
MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough ripped Republicans who tolerate President Donald Trump’s not-so-funny jokes about becoming president for life.
The “Morning Joe” host and his guests reacted to Trump’s comments about Chinese President Xi Jinping consolidating power to remain in office indefinitely, and he told guests at his Mar-A-Lago club that “maybe we’ll give that a shot some day.”

“When Republicans are just saying, it’s just a joke, or when Republicans ignore the fact that this man is talking about being president for life, if they think that Donald Trump is joking, then they’re fools,” Scarborough said. “I don’t think they’re fools, I think they know exactly what he’s saying.”
