Let's see - surround yourself with inept family members because you trust no one. Surround yourself with incompetent people who can't govern (Preibus, Bannon) because you reward loyalty more than expertise. Denigrate the press with every opportunity . . . I could go on and on.
Hopefully, our checks and balances would prevent him having a gulag of sorts for immigrants and others he doesn't like.

Let's hope so. However,m Trump finds "checks and balances" to be an annoyance. He is impatient with Democracy, to say the least
His popularity is so low, and he is failing to build any consensus that I predict that he will do something diversionary - a stunt that will allow him to declare martial law.
The only consensus Trump has been able to build is a consensus of concerned Americans and others, who are troubled by this man's infatuation with power, lack of knowledge, in a broad sense, and malignant narcissism.
