There isn't a dictator or authoritarian leader TFG doesn't want to emulate. Because he hungers for power and amassing billions, he wantonly betrays his oath to our Constitution and is completely disloyal to the American people... Intently doing the bidding of his masters, he is "the enemy within".

I don't think there's a parallel in American history to a rogue executive trying to use law enforcement to strip an opposition Member of Congress of her citizenship and therefore her right to serve — and even remain in — her country. The clear racism makes it much, much worse. Ghoulish.
