– #A final abstract of Fact Findings on America‘s self-imposed Drift/Shift towards a Dictatorship under Trump –
TO WHOM “A TROUT IN THE MILK” MAY CONCERN
Presidential term-limits are now a constitutional requirement. But should they be? Would it be better to rely on convention, as the British do, to give ourselves the flexibility needed in an emergency? Or without the constitutional requirement, would presidents today often seek third terms (and perhaps more), quickly putting an end to the two-term convention and raising again the threat of George Mason’s “elective monarchy”? (Interpretation of the Twenty-Second Amendment)
RULE OF TRUMP | National Emergency, 22nd Amendment, SCOTUS
In fact, a National Emergency wouldn‘t permit a President to serve a Third Term[1]. However, Trump could aim at postponing a new election[2] 2028 against that backdrop.
Nonetheless, the House of Representatives‘ conservative overhang is likely to be enforcing a suggestive change in 22nd Amendment, paving the way for Trump’s Third Reign.[3]
Alongside, the Supreme Court[4] having remained in favour of Trump’s Ermergency Decrees hints at contributing to manifesting a continued Rule of Trump.
TRUMP’S ABUSE OF POWER | Emergency Declarations, Acts of Vengeance
Reportedly, Trump’s Abuse of Power by means Executive Overreach[5]/Emergency Declarations[6], Targetting of Law Firms/Lawyers[7] and Trump's most recent Acts of Vengeance against former US Presidents[8] strengthens such an outlook on co-opting the US Presidency in 2028.
Would anyone consider, a second Capitol Breach to be taking effect?!
TRUMP’S PLAYBOOK | Project 2025, "Enabling Act"
Furthermore, Project 2025 ‘s proven Trump’s Playbook to centralising his Presidential Grab on the Consolidation of Power[9] coupled with the Sychronisation[10] of formerly independent Executive Agencies.
Such kind of concerted Action[11] conspicuously reminisces of the Third Reich’s, i.e. Hitler’s Enabling Act and "Gleichschaltung"[12] having off-set the Weimar Republic’s[13] Blue Print of Democracy. Obviously, the same ’s been taking effect in The Country, once labelled The First and Longest-Lasting Democracy on Earth.
FALL OF AMERICA’S ETHICAL RATING | Corruption, Rule of Law
Apparently, the United States of America ‘s been approximating a Banana Republic’s Rating by means of Global Corruption Perceptions Index[14] and International Rule of Law Indicator[15].

[10] (2025) Trump Wants More Power Over Agencies. Experts Worry About Campaign Finance Regulators (Vpm.Org): President Trump's executive order Tuesday to "rein in" independent agencies is raising particular concern among those who follow the work of the Federal Election Commission, which is in charge of enforcing the country's campaign finance laws. There are currently about 80 agencies across the federal government that were designed by Congress to be independent of the White House, including at least two agencies related to elections. Trump's executive order announced Tuesday seeks to require these agencies to run all new policies, rulings and regulations by the president.
