I found the subtitle interesting, but false: And future administrations will learn from his extrajudicial success
First, I'm certain that Republicans in the House and Senate will instantly recover their love of free markets, small, local government, personal responsibility, and fiscal conservatism as soon as a Democrat president takes office. The resulting ideological whiplash will be ignored by the press in favor of trumpeting how the president is violating principles nearly sacred to the most important subculture in the USA.
Second, if Trump succeeds in squashing midterms and gets a third (and fourth) term, there really won't be any "future administrations". The USA will have an autocrat.
Third, this ignores the looming Trump dynasty. I know Don Jr is the usual favorite to succeed Trump, but my money's on Eric. He's a little smarter than he looks, and behind every successful man is a strong woman. He's got Lara behind him, and she's smarter than everyone else in Trumpworld.
Fourth, should we actually get another elected president, it will be because a huge tidal wave pushed out almost all Republicans. There will be major reworking of federal government, including regulatory agencies, and the judicial system. What used to be "norms" pre-Trump will be codified, preventing this kind of bullshit in the first place.
