Full on dictator mode from here on.

We might ask can he do this or that, but so far he has done this and that and nothing has stopped him.

He has stated that he has absolute authority and that's what his definition of the office is. We say, no you don't, that's a dictator's stance. He says, "So what?"

The impeachment was a pivotal point that failed, because that was not about being partisan as much as it was about ending a regime in progress.

We just have to play wait and see and find out what kind of opposition he will get.
