The problem with dictators, for that is what Trump appears to be, is that they use a 'scorched earth' policy towards any opposing sentiments, regardless of how small or minor. "One spark can start a prairie fire" comes to mind. If you don't stamp out that spark, you have a chaotic conflagration which will be hard to manage. Trump needs servants, not thinkers. The Party will be moulded in his image now. As you people are wont to say, "God Bless America", but for now, it seems your god has run away to hide!
