Even if Trump doesn’t try to take over, again, this is going to be a long list.

Thanks for setting this up. TBH, I hope it dies for lack of content.
But, so far I’ve got two
-
Commission to identify “woke” generals so Trump can re-assign and demote them. I assume “woke” will mean anyone who is not a Trump loyalist.
-
Tweet demanding that the Senate only consider Majority Leader candidates who have promised to support recess appointments.
It would be nice if we could remove the second when the Senate insists on reviewing every appointment and rejects Gaetz (at least). We’ll see.

Trump has repeatedly threatened to go after the media if he doesn’t like what they have to say. This is pretty high on the list for any dictator imo.

This, along with the choice of Fox News Pundit / War Crimes apologist Hegseth for SOD.
Along with numerous reports from Kelly, Milley, and Esper that Trump is a “Fascist” who wishes he had “Hitler’s Generals”.
Hopefully he just wants to be able to talk-- to dump on heroes/veterans, pardon war crimes, and praise dictators-- without his generals arguing/leaking. But he’s also mentioned wanting to shoot protesters and illegal immigrants, and I expect there will be a lot of both if we go through with mass deportation plans.

This goes back to McConnel blocking Garland from SCOTUS nomination to begin building a puppet court. The normal course of politics would have kept a reasonably balanced court.

This is also posted in the “goals” thread. But, if we’re counting milestones, it seems appropriate here, too.
Authoritarians don’t like free press.
The bill passed the House by unanimous action on Monday. Trump is killing it in the Senate.

Trump wants to remove traditional news outlets from the White House Press Room. Pack it full of toadies.
Meh, predictable, but does anything useful ever get said at the briefing room? It’s mostly a trolling exercise.
One of Trump’s previous press secretaries never held a briefing. News still functioned.
I missed the part where we were at war with Ukraine. But I’m also not up to date on my execution threats etiquette so maybe that isn’t needed anymore.
I wonder if everyone is allowed to declare someone a traitor on X.
every grifter and alleged white collar criminal is 100% investing in a defense strategy like this

South Korea, not US, but martial law was just declared.
Yeah. I have to wonder what Trump thinks about that.
This could go in several threads here, but I feel like this one is probably best
