Because a very large number of Americans are pro-dictatorship. This is not an a Manchurian-candidate scenario. This is a legitimately-elected leader doing exactly what he was elected to do.

A lot of them seem to be cheering him on as if they elected a king. The problem being of course that legally there is no person who can just issue edicts and have them become law, there is no legal way to elect a king.

  It doesn't have to be legal anymore, that's the whole point.

  His approval rating is not doing very well.

    For what they are doing, it should be much lower than what it is

> This is a legitimately-elected leader doing exactly what he was elected to do. He was elected to bring prices and inflation down; that’s what he campaigned on! He lied at that time and people trusted in his lies. He have no idea what he can do to bring prices and inflation down! Marketing could be his expertise, but when it comes to performing duties of the President, he’s super dumb.

  It's going to be "fun" when the tariffs really hit and prices and inflation go up. Then people will have to fall back on "no, we elected him for the unlawful mass deportations".

    It's always going to be something. It's like the entire span of history and politics from 2016 to six months before the election never happened, and Trump was always a reasonable, respectable, honest politician who never said or did anything out of the ordinary. Why would anyone have any reason not to trust his intentions? Why would anyone associate him with these extremist beliefs? "I voted for the Party because I supported their infrastructure plan, I had no idea where all of those trains would be going" kind of feel. And the sad thing is, it will work because our entire framework of subjective truth and reality is built on the very technologies they already use to reprogram us and revise history. Trump was always an honest man. We were always at war with Canada. It was always about egg prices.

  He was also going to stop the Ukraine war on day one, which seems to be delayed.

> This is a legitimately-elected leader doing exactly what he was elected to do. He put a fair bit of effort in telling people he wasn't going to do most of this stuff. It was always clear that he was lying, but lots of people believed him and are now very surprised.
