One should be concerned about his most ardent cult member followers. But the belief he can make himself a dictator is beyond overwrought.
But if the Democrats truly do believe that he can become a dictator, the strategy of cornering him so he has no choice but to run is an enormously dangerous one.
A Trump Biden rematch is the thing that scares me. Whoever wins that, the polarization in its wake is terminal. His conviction or banning from the ballot via 14th Amendment will also create terminal polarization.
He needs to be offered an off ramp he can’t refuse and openly accepts, throwing his endorsement to a normal candidate, and that takes bipartisanship.
Or the CIA needs to kill him.
(By all this, I mean, it’s the very race in which Biden and Trump are engaged that will damage the republic irreparably. Worrying about what Trump would do if he won is a secondary concern. The cancer becomes incurable the minute these two become nominees.)
