I know what-if's don't amount to much but I still shudder at what-if he pulled off the 2nd term... [View all]

1. They made a lot of noise about packing SCOTUS by adding seats; who's to say that Trump wouldn't have attempted it himself to weasel even more right-wingers on board despite already having a majority?

2. Who's to say that Trump wouldn't have attempted to rescind the 2-term limit?

3. Who's to say he wouldn't have done whatever was in his power to officially label groups such as BLM and Antifa as terrorist organizations?

That's just a bare mininum of the possibilities had the Clown Show gotten picked up for a second season.
