“The perverted ambition of another class of men, who will either hope to aggrandize themselves by the confusions of their country, or will flatter themselves with fairer prospects of elevation from the subdivision of the empire into several partial confederacies than from its union under one government.”—Federalist 1.

Trump said he would be a dictator on day one. Does anyone believe he will stop being a dictator at the stroke of midnight?
