True. But a Congress at his disposal doesn't bode well. They're more or less in line with most things he claimed to do. I can only repeat - big caveat, he's not Hitler - but it would do well to take him at his word. The biggest stupidity is not taking any authoritarian politician at his word. They mean what they say and they will at least attempt to do what they said. If checks and balances are up to the job is about the only thing remaining to be seen.
History has told us as much.
Yeah I'm not a fan of politicians in general, though some are better than others.
"It is a curious thing ... but perhaps those who are best suited to power are those who have never sought it." — Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
