Step 6. Calls the opposition is the enemy from within. Says the opposition supports terrorists and must be stopped/jailed

Step 7 . One night, he sends thugs to surround parliament and arrest the opposition

Step 8. His supporters are happy and defend him

Step 9. Dictatorship

Welcome to Tunisia.

Americans are at step 6. They just don't know it. They are deers in the headlights.

Let's hope Trump is too dumb to successfully pull that off.
