So I have to think that if an authoritarian politician doesn’t care about his approval numbers, what people think of him, does it make you wonder if that authoritarian politician plans to do something to stay in office when his term is up?

MAGA’s Foundational Lie
The movement claims to stand with the police. Trump’s decision to pardon the cop-beaters of January 6 exposed his movement for what it is.

They don’t seem to understand that this is the plan. Either the falsely elected vice president and military go along with the plan or they find themselves in prison or die. The US is there to stay.

Moulton: "When we had briefings on Venezuela, we asked, 'Are you going to invade the country?' We were told no. 'Do you plan to put troops on the ground?' We were told no. 'Do you intend regime change in VZ?' We were told no. So in a sense, we have been briefed, we've just been completely lied to"

I agree with Trump.
He should have to take a “strong, meaningful and proven cognitive examination”, i.e., full neuropsychological testing battery, not just a dementia screening task that he inflates. Because, as he notes, we don’t want stupid or incompetent people. Also: psychopathy screening.
