That all stems from the "dictator on day one" hoax/lie that democrats like to spread.

He literally said he will be a dictator on day one but then not after that.  It's not a hoax.  You may say that the "not after that" part makes it all OK, but no Presidential candidate has ever said they want to be a dictator for even an hour, and Trump says 24 hours.  Extremely concerning.  Not a hoax.

Oh, I know. It’s so stupid. What is Trump going to do, sit in the Oval Office with his arms crossed and refuse to leave? Can’t let facts derail a good TDS narrative.

He would have four years to rotate through generals who might let him get away with it.  What the constitution says is only relevant if the JCOS thinks it's relevant that day.

There are 200+ countries in the world.  This stuff happens every other year in one place or another.
