You're forgetting about Bannon. This isn't all coming from Trump insomuch as parts of it are also coming from Bannon, the Nazi white supremacist Leninist who wants to blow up government, "shut up" the media, empty the State Department, install himself as head of the NSC, and so on.
Did you know that according to whitehouse.gov we no longer have a federal judicial branch? Google it. Bannon is, as a matter of course, a very dark (says he admires both Satan and Darth Vader because POWER) and pretty much unhinged sort of fellow, and my belief is he works on Trump (not with him) almost 24/7 (I'd be surprised if Bannon can let Trump get any sleep for all the bs he keeps wanting to filling his head up with) so that guy, thanks to Trump's own racism and power struggles against societal norms and conventions, is effectively President of the United States right now, not Trump.
Maybe you need to reframe this a little with Bannon calling most of the shots that Trump will merely carry out for him, as a "friend"...it's certainly not the other way around.
And yes, I read the so-called conspiracy theory article, too, late last night, long before seeing your post on it just now. I slept on it. I woke up worried about what it portended. I can't say how much the author suggests will come to pass but we need people like him to warn us how it *could* go down so at least we aren't all dying of shock at the same time that we need to quickly come up with some sort of new plans.
I'd send the damn article to every member of Congress and every governor across the land if I thought it'd make a difference, but should the worst happen, it's going to be people saying "it's all 20/20 in hindsight", and so on, so even trying to inform them of what could go wrong given the obvious power hungriness of both Bannon and Trump and the pure greed of Trump in particular isn't going to change that, since people hear what they want to hear.

I'm very sad for America right now.
