Step 3. He starts threatening judges who rule against him, urging his supporters to harass them
Step 4. He starts suing newspapers and journalists, calling them fake news
Step 5 Tells his supporters that black people eat pets and are part of a global plot to replace Tunisians

Step 6. Calls the opposition is the enemy from within. Says the opposition supports terrorists and must be stopped/jailed
Step 7 . One night, he sends thugs to surround parliament and arrest the opposition
Step 8. His supporters are happy and defend him
Step 9. Dictatorship
Welcome to Tunisia.
Americans are at step 6. They just don't know it. They are deers in the headlights.
Let's hope Trump is too dumb to successfully pull that off.
