Only if you discount the effect of all the lawsuits continuing to plague him--the doubt in the minds of foreign leaders who might be unwilling to sign on to anything he proposes, officers all thru the military wondering if they are at risk of arrest by a hostile government, broght before the World Court in the Netherlands...you get the picture.

History shows that in order to have total obedience of the enslaved, the dictator must be ruthless enough to off a few of his own faithful, if merely to show the rest he means business. Hitler had his blackshirts & brownshirts--had the 1st bunch slaughtered to make sure the SS he was developing would not hesitate to follow orders exactly, without question.
