By the way, do you think any of the republicans in Congress would object if he appointed a horse to his cabinet?

I would love to see critics start referring to him as “Little Boots.” This would be great because at first he would not understand it, and when someone explained it to him, he would be irritated.

The proper comparison is to the Roman emperors who acted on their whims and had a compliant Senate and administrative state to enable them. It seems clear that Trump thinks of the military as his Praetorian Guard.
