    We saw how he reacted last time his term ended. Anyone who thinks he is going in four years is as mad as he is. The only way he's giving up the presidency now, is when it's prized out of his cold dead hands. Let's hope that's sooner than anticipated.

    Trump likes Viktor Orban. Viktor Orban managed to turn Hungary's young democracy to an illiberal one. To better understand what awaits U.S.A. under Trump 2.0 you should make a long chat with Nick Thopre who is Central Europe Correspondent for BBC. He was in Hungary before 1989 and still is. He must have 1 or 2 things to say about Trump 2.0. A Hungarian viewer of yours.

      An interesting analogy -but it ignores the wars of the "Triumvirates" (the Battle of Philippi and the Battle of Actium) which were hardly "like normal." Octavian/Augustus was essentially a dictator - naming himself princeps, commander-in-chief, censor and tribune for life. Trump hasn't gone quite that far yet - that test will come in 4 years time, not decades down the line....

    I’m a bit thick when it comes to US law - and I tend to think that the US is a mess legally. It rests on a relatively new constitution that most Americans are happy the celebrate and wave as a shining example, notwithstanding the fact that it’s pretty out of date and very difficult to update or amend with the times. In addition there are many lawyers and courts arguing issues daily, whilst often missing the central point (wood from the trees). Take Trump’s prosecutions/civil cases - thwarted at every stage by expensive lawyers - whilst in many countries around the world the same issues would only have been argued in appeal after conviction. Couple that with this ridiculous idea that an act could be created by Congress specifically dictating how presidential records are to be dealt with - and yet potentially made a waste of paper when a president (who is supposed to be bound by the act) claims immunity. What a pointless exercise.

    Post Second World War, there was a growing liberal progressive coalition in the western democracies. So afraid were we of what was seen of a repeat of the far-right attitudes that dominated much of the 1930s. Unfortunately, that progressive liberalism snow balled becoming increasingly authoritarian and supported by a smaller proportion of the population - as emboldened in these three. What we now have is a potentially excessive correction, that would not have been necessary if there had not been huge progressive overreach in the past 25 years.
