Imagine. Absolute power. Who to torture, who to screw, who lives, who dies. Total and absolute power. It seems that's what Trump wants. And given the ignorance of too many Americans, he may just get close to it.

I don't think this megalomaniac could actually get elected president. But given the past year, who the hell knows. President Caligula? Beyond scary.
