As for many other things there is a German word for this, which is Führerprinzip.
i will remark again on this hallmark of maga politics, which is that trump embodies the organic will of the voters and this imbues him with sovereign power that cannot be checked or limited by any other institution in the society.
We must dissolve the Supreme Court and give Donald Trump unlimited powers. Or else we will have a dictatorship.

Trump is playing checkers, or tiddlywinks, while the rest of the world plays chess. His cuts have cost thousands of scientists their jobs or grants. Now they are being lured abroad. This is how the U.S. loses our global leadership and advantage. Sheer stupidity!
