That is the scary part.
Trump won't last nearly that long but he isn't the one with the real levers on the power. The people who put him in place have the control.

I doubt their efforts will last that long because there are more guns than people in the country and the people will have memories of their freedoms.Sooner than later they will wake up. No amount of media propaganda can overcome that.

It is getting harder and harder to see how this ends without some violence.
