Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

This is Trumpism in its purest form. Simultaneously an impeachable abuse of presidential power but also quite funny.
Trump responds to a reporter asking if he's going to deport Elon Musk: "I don't know. We'll have to take a look. We might have to put DOGE on Elon, you know? You know what DOGE is? DOGE is the monster that might have to go back and eat Elon. Wouldn't that be terrible?"
