Donald Trump has said that he will not become a dictator if he becomes US president again except "on day one", after warnings from Democrats and some Republicans that the US was in danger of becoming an autocracy if he wins the 2024 election. Fuck, well at least he's honest on this statement

I've heard the term 'benevolent dictator' before, but it might be philosophical. It doesn't seem to me that anyone capable of assuming the role could remain benevolent long.

I definetly could

If teleported in as is, I'm sure, but you gotta get there first.

I don't think dictatorships are meant to be long term anyway, but I would be careful who I would hand over any power to.
