Abstract
The article discusses concerns regarding Donald Trump's potential consolidation of power and his authoritarian tendencies following his second inauguration. It highlights fears that Trump may attempt to subvert upcoming elections, including the 2024 and 2028 elections, in defiance of constitutional limits, particularly the Twenty-Second Amendment, which restricts presidents to two terms. The text references historical warnings from the Founding Fathers about the dangers of a demagogue undermining democracy and details Trump's actions that suggest a disregard for constitutional norms, including his attempts to overturn the 2020 election results and his aggressive maneuvers against various institutions. The article concludes with a call for vigilance among the American populace to preserve democratic principles and prevent the rise of a monarchical rule. [Extracted from the article]
