What little I have read of President Donald Trump He isn't interested in being a King.
Ifeel like He wants to be a Dictator .
Does He know He was elected to Serve The People of the USA?

I think it elections that Donald wants to do away with.
I haven't found proof that he has a plan to eliminate elections
entirely. What is clear: he has stated he wants major changes
to how elections are run (for example, new citizenship proof
requirements, ending mail-in ballots, tighter controls).
The fact that he didn't respect the 2020 election results and incited
an insurrection to overturn the election was our first clue.
Trump telling people before the 2024 election "vote for me and you'll
never have to vote again" was the second clue.
You're right that he didn't respect the 2020 results - but that's
not new in politics. We've had candidates dispute outcomes before
(think "hanging chads"), so it's not unique to him.
As for "inciting an insurrection," I'm not personally convinced
he intended for anything violent to happen. I wasn't there,
and none of us really know the mindset of every person who showed
up or what pushed them individually. That part is still debated
and may be for a long time.
The issue I have with him and 1/6 is real simple. It really doesn't
matter what he told the crowd.
The fact that he decided to hold
a "loser's rally" on the day that the votes were being certified,
in the same city,
*and* supposedly (by his own admission) asked
for more police because he thought it might get violent, is more
than enough for me. The fact that he continues to deny any
culpability for what happened is just icing.
