Trump has the presidency and, if the Republicans know what's good for them, two houses. He is now going through the process of selecting his family and friends for every government position he will control.

Trump is a billionaire. He has no need for money. He has no party loyalties and no political career. For Trump, running for the White House was never much more than a publicity stunt. He has nothing at all to lose.

When asked what Fascism was, Mussolini famously answered, I am Fascism. A Fascist regime is society that is built around the will of the Leader.

Amerika, on the other hand, is built around the cult of the individual. Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness are about self-sufficiency and individual sovereignty.

Trump has only ever appealed to these values to assert his own will. Nothing in his career has demonstrated selflessness or humility. His catchphrase, you're fired, highlights Trump's style to a T.

Amerika has gone down the road to Fascism. This won't be an easy road for Amerikans. Whether it ends like all past Fascist regimes in a spectacular display of self-destruction remains to be seen.

One thing we know: Trump has no shame, no tact, and no humility. He does not consult, he rarely listens, he sees all obstacles - contracts, the law, and the rights of others - as hurdles to be quashed. Two things motivate such egos: fame, and revenge. Trump wants to be feared and loved by as many people as possible. He will do whatever it takes to destroy his enemies. Egos like Trump's have an insatiable appetite for notoriety, and they never forgive.

Types like this get quickly bored. Trump already has wealth, and he now has power. What he hasn't tried yet is war, the ultimate aim of such egos. Trump saw his many legal battles as wars. His ghostwritten book, the Art of the Deal, referenced the Art of War. Trump has already promised trade wars with China and Mexico, and he's threatened real wars with ISIL, Iran and Cuba. The logical extention of Trump's ego is not president, a job he covers for the title alone, but Commander in Chief.

Trump is now the generalissimo of the world's best-equipped military force.

As with everything else he's done, Trump is unlikely to show restraint. As he's said, he sees the US military as a tool, and in particular, it's nuclear arsenal. Trump has refused to rule out nuclear attacks on Iran and Syria. Whether he would do something like this remains to be seen. Unlike all recent pre-elected US leaders, we had some inkling of how they saw such destructive power. With Trump, the only inkling we see is a tendency to not hold back.

Forget ISIS, al Qaida, China, Russia and Iran. Without a doubt, Trump is now the most dangerous man in the world.

Yes we'll forgive him these shortcomings,  if he bans Muslims.

Eisenhower would have agreed with you...

Eisenhower's warning was Presidential inability to constrain the military... He never had any fear that they would not make war on his command... His experience was that they would not make peace on his command.

sure, but the popular belief that the POTUS has his sole finger on the nuclear button is incorrect. From memory  it was JFK who wanted to commit to atomic warfare and His Generals who talked him out of it.
