Our Republic is based on the Roman model which allowed for DICTATORS when necessary to solve DYSFUNCTION.

Read a book for Christs sake, or if that is too hard you can Google it.

Lincoln and FDR were DICTATORS.

Wake up.

Such a silly and unserious and laughable post. Trump would never be allowed to dictate no trade with China. That is not going to happen. LOL!!!

Those times were different and if Lincoln were alive today, he would not be allowed to do what he did. FDR did not dictate, either. Congress passed legislation he wanted and the Supreme Court overturned numerous laws. FDR was reigned in by the Supreme Court often which is why he wanted to pack the Supreme Court and which he was not allowed to do. It failed.

LOL!!! It is worth repeating. Your post is one of the most silly, laughable and unserious posts I have ever read.

Lincoln declared martial law and suspended the writ of habeas corpus. Some say he even threatened to arrest the Chief Justice. FDR never quite took it that far, but he made full use of his constitutional prerogatives. I think Trump might need to do the same, for somewhat different reasons. The future of the Republic depends on it.
