As with Mussolini Tweety Twump will lose power over his many, many, many, many mistakes. It may take time. The Democrats may f**k up the 2020 election and he might win again.
The culture of violence will be rejected soon tho!
One day, perhaps November 2020, Tweety's legacy will be recognized as a colossal failure. Tweety will be figuratively, virtually, hung upside down, as the traitor he is to our country, given his efforts to destroy our Democracy and our standing in the world, kneeling before enemies like Putin and insulting Allies of Democratic countries, while befriending dictators and terrorists (Saudis). Tweety will end like Mussolini ended, disgraced, hated, abandoned and alone.
Tweety Trump is literally a SCOFFLAW, against any semblance of law and order if it does not please him or serve him!

To Tweety Trump the Constitution is phony!
Trump has bought in 100% on Mussolini's love and use of violence, and this bodes ill for our Democracy since the foundation of Trump's appeal is is fascism.

"Donald Trump and Benito Mussolini: Striking Parallels"
http://www.thehypertexts.com/Donald%20Trump%20Benito%20Mussolini%20Parallels%20Fascists.htm
"Donald Trump and Benito Mussolini have many things in common ... not the least of which is that they appear to be identical twins! The resemblance is uncanny. Is Donald Trump the reincarnation of the fascist Benito Mussolini? And there are many other striking parallels besides their looks, as we will see together.
Fascists of a feather
flock together.
—Michael R. Burch
Will the fascist Donald Trump follow in the footsteps of Benito Mussolini, destroying the United States the way Mussolini once destroyed Italy? Benito Mussolini was once Hitler's yes-man. Donald Trump is now Putin's yes-man. What happens when nations start doing the bidding of fascists like Hitler and Putin? History suggests that subservient nations also become fascist, with citizens losing their individual freedom and most basic rights in the process. "
This is not hype or tribalism even if the author is tribal. The parallels are real!
"According to Dr. Mark Bickhard, the Henry R. Luce Professor of Cognitive Robotics and the Philosophy of Knowledge at Lehigh University, the parallels between Trump and Mussolini are even stronger than those between Trump and Hitler. In fact, Dr. Bickhard has written an article called "The Scary Parallels Between Trump and Mussolini." Traits of Mussolini cited by Dr. Bickhard include: (1) "arrogant ignorance and incoherence" and only seeming to know rather than actually knowing; (2) pretending to be an expert on every subject; (3) cowing the press while being a "man of the banner" himself; (4) having pretensions to be able to "enter the hearts and minds of his subjects" in a kind of political religion; (5) "readjusting" his personal history so that he has never been wrong about anything and has never made mistakes; (6) being more of a "gangster" than a real leader; (7) responding to criticism with extreme anger; (8) combining thin-skinned ignorance with arrogant contempt; (9) being a fraud in every conceivable way; (10) and being a "a vain, blundering boaster without either ideas or aims."
According to the 27 psychiatrists and mental health experts who authored The Dangerous Case of Donald Trump, he is like Hitler, Mussolini and other leaders with cultish followers in important respects: (1) Trump craves attention and has a "mirror-hungry" leader personality; (2) his followers perceive Trump as a superhuman who is above the law and the need for morality or even common decency; (3) his followers blindly believe Trump's wild assertion, however untrue; (4) his followers blindly comply with Trump's directives for action; (5) his followers provide Trump with unqualified emotional support (he can "feel the love" when he's surrounded by his base).
For a more exhaustive analysis, at the bottom of this page I have taken Umberto Eco's essay “Ur-Fascism” (“Eternal Fascism”) and illustrated how Trump matches Eco's fourteen general properties of fascist ideology. I gave Trump 13.5 points out of 14, deducting half a point on one contestable item.
As a result, like Mussolini before him, Trump has destroyed his country's reputation and standing in the world. In a 2016 Pew Research Center poll, 84 percent of people in Germany, Britain, France, Canada and Sweden believed the American president would “do the right thing in world affairs.” One year later, with Trump in the White House, that number had fallen to shocking 16 percent."
Stunning stuff! How did Trump get the info, wisdom, advice to use Mussolini's tactics and strategy. Trump does not appear to be intelligent. Trump seems like a mafia boss, but he is taking over our Democracy like Mussolini.

Americans who support Trump may be hanging him by his feet one day . . . as Italians hung Mussolini, because Trump is destroying our Democracy just as Mussolini destroyed Italy's Democracy.
"Does Trump’s Fascist Rhetoric Foreshadow Fascist Action?"
June 18, 2019
By Craig Smith, Ph.D.
https://www.natcom.org/communication-currents/does-trumps-fascist-rhetoric-foreshadow-fascist-action
"
Among media critics, historians, and comics, President Trump has been labeled a fascist. The side-by-side videos of Trump and Mussolini jutting out their jaws and nodding approval at national populist rallies are disconcerting. In fascist rhetoric, appeals to emotion and nationhood replace rational arguments; exaggerated stories replace carefully worked out policies; militarism replaces deliberation; and invaders and/or immigrants become scapegoats. In the 1930s, fascist rhetoric spread to America. It was evident in Father Coughlin’s radio broadcasts, and Charles Lindbergh received a medal from Hitler in Berlin and then returned to the United States to lead America First rallies (the latter surfacing in Trump’s rhetoric in our own time).
However, there is a difference between fascist rhetoric and fascist action. The speeches of President Franklin Roosevelt provide a case in point. In his First Inaugural address in 1933, Roosevelt threatened to “ask for . . . broad executive power to wage a war against the emergency, as great as the power that would be given to me if we were in fact invaded by a foreign foe.” Congress gave FDR the power he sought, and the New Deal was born. At the end of the 1936 campaign, FDR announced a Second New Deal in a rabble-rousing speech not only to his audience in Madison Square Garden, but also to those assembled in the surrounding streets listening to loud speakers. A frightening moment came when FDR said, “I should like to have it said of my first Administration that in it the forces of selfishness and of lust for power met their match.” He was interrupted by cheering and regained control of the audience by shouting “Wait a minute, wait a minute . . . I should like to have it said of my second Administration that in it these forces met their master.” A demonstration ensued that nearly turned into a riot.
However, FDR was not fascist; with exception of the Japanese internment and his attempt to pack the Supreme Court, his record on protecting civil rights and minorities is well-established. For example, in 1941 he called for freedom of expression and religion and freedom from want and fear “everywhere in the world.” Thus, fascist rhetoric should be differentiated from fascist action."
So when do we feel we can say Trump is fascist? When he ignores the Constitution, disobeys the law of the lad and orders of Federal Judges, tampers with impeachment witnesses, and undermines the separation of powers! I hope we do not find ourselves wondering if Trump is Fascists when he actually shoots someone, and the police do not feel it is appropriate to arrest him. THAT event, murder in public, just as Mussolini had his political rival, and most powerful critic in Italy, murdered, is when we KNOW Trump is Mussolini incarnate!
"A stronger case for condemning Trump as a fascist may come as he avoids subpoenas, re-allocates funds to build his border wall, refuses to release tax returns, welcomes political help from foreign governments, and obstructs justice. In those cases, fascist rhetoric foreshadows fascist action just as it did in Italy and Germany generations ago. So, vigilance is in order."
