Here is a brutal truth. American voters knew exactly what they were voting for when they elected Trump. The majority of them wanted a King. (www.nytimes.com)

Perhaps some do, but I refuse to believe the majority want a king or dictator. It's far more believable that a lot of voters were/are naive and really don't like how things were going, rightly or wrongly. They then unsurprisingly ignored the candidate who said everything is fine, you're the problem, and instead voted for the candidate who said you're not the problem, the problem is all this scary stuff on fox news and only I can fix it.
