    I hope someone stands behind him and whispers in his ear “memento mori“

      He’d probably not get it, and think the person was coming on to him instead of the intended effect.

    How long until he appoints himself a field marshal? And starts designing his own uniforms?

    Its his last term das why he don’t give a fuck. He can’t get re-elected anyway (yet), that’s why he’s going full dictator all of a sudden, he didn’t js randomly hit his head and start going mad in between his terms, this was his intention from the start.

    He’s the only man with his views as charismatic and confident as himself. That’s why he has such a cult following, that’s how fascists get elected, no other current politicians with his ideals are as charismatic as he is, he and all fascists overpromise and charm the public, blaming a scapegoat for all of THEIR OWN wrongdoings (Jews in Hitlers case, Muslims & immigrants in Nigel Farage’s case and immigrants in the torys - not acc fascist but basically a tool for fascists - & Trumps case), using the idea of getting rid of them as an excuse to be even more authoritarian.
