The Mitt Romney Conference tentatively explores the making of a tyrant

It's necessary to piece together various discussions at the Conference to get the entire picture of a President who uses the office for tyrannical purposes.

Romney led the entry into the topic by expressing concern that a tyrant is made out of the unfulfilled desires of a people who have become despondent that their interests have not been publicly acknowledged and the people's political leaders have not been so engaged.  Further, the despot is formed when he alights upon  a group of individuals to isolate from the mainstream only for the purpose of accusing them of the cause of the injustices against the majority's stated demands.  If Trump were in some formative stage of becoming despotic, he would single out some group standing in the way of the people's achieving their righteous will--for example, the Mexicans.  He would further point to others--politicians and prominent dignitaries alike--as adversaries of the people, calling each by some pseudo name and derogatory nomenclature.

A would-be tyrant in the making then would claim that his way is the only true way to achieve the stated aspirations and hopes of the majority of the people. And, he would aspire to religious devotion in pursuing fulfillment of their desires and interests.

But, as hinted at from the information leaked what other discussants at the Conference claimed on the topic, the vital, necessary power a tyrant must have is the control of the country's military, which he would say emphatically, that without his intervention would be insufficient to maintain the security of the country he controls.  He would revamp the military and the country's police forces, that is, to achieve his own ends for power over the people and for personal gain.

Shocking discussion, to be sure. My high regard for "the Mitt" is predicated on his daring and forthrightness in this matter.
