The Old Testament is considered to be around 3000 years old, but it’s still a shitty piece of writing.
Age equates to quality now does it?

No way. I mean, I hate Scomo as much as anyone, but he's a rank amateur in the dishonesty stakes compared to Trump.ScoMo

Apart from Trump's several references to the topic.
But of course, he's the BS artist of all BS artists, so what to believe?
Several references?
Ok that's a start.
Walk me through to the part where elections are cancelled forever.

What complete and utter bollocks.
The charges - most significant charges - are that:
- he took classified, secret documents from the White House upon ceasing to be President, refused to return them when asked to, boasted about them to civilians, stored them unsecurely in the bathroom of his private residence
- he lied about losing an election and tried to pressure election officials at various states to "find votes", and then inspired his followers to resort to violence to prevent the election result being certified by Congress.
He had not yet been found guilty of these charges and was permitted to defend
- whether he did these things
- whether they were illegal.
Had he not done these things, he would not have been facing trials for them.
To argue that it is the fault of the people who sought to uphold what they believed was the law and brought charges that the SCOTUS concocted presidential immunity is back to front. If it is not permitted to bring charges against a president when it is believed they have committed serious crimes, they effectively have immunity regardless of what SCOTUS says.

The thing about constitutions is, they are a bit of paper with words on them.
They only have substance if the people with power say they do, and maintain the system to enforce them.
The saying about a Bill of Rights also applies to constitutions.
If you really need a good bill of rights, it will not help you.
If a good bill of rights will help you, you don't need one.

Faux guy under a bit of pressure ?
Pete Hegseth, President-elect Donald Trump’s pick for secretary of defense, paid a woman who accused him of sexual assault as part of a nondisclosure agreement, though he maintained that their encounter was consensual, according to a statement from his lawyer Saturday and other documents obtained by The Washington Post. Hegseth’s attorney, Timothy Parlatore, said that Hegseth was “visibly intoxicated” at the time of the incident, and maintained that police who were contacted a few days after the encounter by the woman concluded “the Complainant had been the aggressor in the encounter.” Police have not confirmed that assertion. Hegseth agreed to pay an undisclosed amount to the woman because he feared that revelation of the matter “would result in his immediate termination from Fox,” where he works as a host, the statement said.

He’s been looking unsteady on his feet lately - maybe he’s had to dispense with the shoe lifts?

Unsteady and speech issues. He is just really old- too old to be POTUS just like Biden was.
I can tell you didn't read this article.
It does not support any notion that Trump will achieve absolute power and / or end democracy
It's logical
Trump doesn't want to be prosecuted
The ruling came about due to Trump being prosecuted.
I'm sure he's happy to have the ruling on his side, but doesn't change the fact he'd prefer no prosecution in the first place.

Mmm…so who is really going after political enemies?

The Germans in the 1930s didn’t believe what people were telling them either.
I see you as one of these.
Did you study modern history at school?

So only he is allowed to prosecute criminals, apart from his loyalists, those criminals he will put in positions of power.
I'm not sure how you reach this conclusion

The moral of the story is Trump is a criminal and is able to bend the law his way because of his power. The average person would be in jail for years of they dud what he's done.
Tossing in a reference to 1930s Germany does not fortify a poor argument.
If he did want to become a dictator, he had no better opportunity than during COVID. He could have declared all sorts of extraordinary powers and taken control, stopped the election, got the military in etc etc.
For a guy who apparently wants to be a dictator...that was a big opportunity to let slip
