Not if we pick the right people to run the system with an iron fist

"we" being who? Obviously the dictator of your hypothetical government isn't going to be running for election, so how will they be selected?

Now you're just advocating for corruption right there.

I like the idea of Trump having absolute power.

Get rid of? No. Clean out, yes. Congress needs term limits. Too many old bags that have been sitting in the same seats for decades, disregarding what's best for the nation for the sake of saving their own asses.
NOTE: This nation's government style, policies, and opinions in roleplay or forum 7 does not represent my true beliefs. It is purely for the enjoyment of the game.
