As @davidallengreen points out in his rumination on gangster states:
'A society is not easy to govern unless there is at least acceptance of the powers of the police & the military: sheer repression is expensive & often unsustainable.
That is why the wise tyrant hides behind a veneer of legalism & constitutionality.
And that is also why gangster states rarely last very long'!
The Q.is how much damage can Trump do in his gangster phase?
