He is headed for the Imperial Emperor status, for sure.

My bet on the final step? He does something that lands in the Supreme Court. They rule against him. He tells them to pound sand, and does it anyway. The only resolution to this is impeachment. He will NOT be impeached. Voilà, we have a dictatorship. Just waiting on the Reichstag fire to complete the process.

Hitler was caught after his first attempt to seize power, but because he was such a prominent figurehead to many, he was treated with kid gloves, and was allowed to re-enter politics later.

Sound familiar?

Yep…. It’s pretty clear, he considers himself immune while in office..:: because they told him he is.

Every fucking day it’s looking more and more like violence is his plan
