“I am going to give the last word to Timothy Snyder, the Yale historian:”
‘Trump is in the classic dictatorial position: He needs to die in bed holding all executive power to stay out of prison. This means that he will do whatever he can to gain power, and once in power will do all that he can to never let it go. This is a basic incentive structure which underlies everything else. It is entirely inconsistent with democracy.’

@burritojustice Of course there are some examples of the dictator who "retired"/exiled to a felon-friendly country without an extradition treaty and lived out their years in relative obscurity. Idi Amin, Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, Marcos, etc.
Not seeing that in the cards for Trump though.
