    He’s literally pro-dictatorship. Loves the way North Korea is ruled: with absolute authority and with harsh punishments for anyone who disobeys their ruler.

          The 22nd Amendment, so it’s in the Constitution. Unfortunately the current Supreme Court would probably find a way to hugely misinterpret it.
