The coup is almost complete...

The GOP-controlled Senate will not even consider a bill unless it is assured the President will support it.

No demand for documents, information, or testimony made by Congress will be honored by the White House if it is deemed embarrassing or potentially compromising to the President. Needless to say, arrest or search warrants and court orders will simply be ignored.

Only three more obstacles remain for American fascism to be installed completely and permanently.

1) Any press report or journalism considered a threat or insult to the President will be nipped in the bud by a new, political interpretation of the libel laws. Eventually this ruling will be applied to comedians, politicians, public speakers, anyone who appears to be acquiring a wider audience. Opposition or ridicule to the President in private conversation will remain legal, and will indeed be held up as our still having "freedom of speech", but will still be policed and enforced by public opinion and zealous supporters of the regime.

2) Honoring of court orders or subpoenas issued against the White House or its agents will be considered optional--assuring that even courts who might still be independent and free will be rendered essentially powerless.

3)The government will assume the defacto power to intervene in or ignore the result of any election or campaign it declares as illegitimate.

If Trump is re-elected in 2020, it will be assumed that the tacit approval of the American people to install these changes will be on record, and they will be implemented immediately. If the election goes against Trump, but is close, the results will be ignored as illegitimate and he will simply refuse to leave office. He will have the full support of the Right Wing press, the business community, the gun lobby, and the Republican Party.
