I feel the same desire to thank President Trump for saving America—so far—from a nightmare just as terrible or perhaps worse.

The fact that our fate as a nation seems to hinge on the force of one man’s personality and patriotism is very disconcerting. It says a lot about the present state of our country, and it isn’t good.
To your point, the uncomfortable reality is that Donald Trump is the only thing standing between us and tyranny.
It appears that you're right about this; however, consider the strength of the American People who elected him.
Of course, he volunteered for the job--at enormous sacrifice to himself and his family--to save America because he believed that no one else could or would do it. For that alone, he is perhaps the greatest patriot and the greatest President America has ever produced.
There may be others just at puissant and as patriotic who have not yet come forth because of the enormity of the sacrifice that will be required--but who will if they must.
