    He has no one holding him back anymore, doesn’t have to worry about releection (one way or another) and is at death’s door. He will definitely try to do a lot of terrible shit, more than last time.

      A third term would not be off the table… this is how any other dictator started off… once elected, change the rules about term limits. Heck he might even want to rebrand the term dictator and make it a good thing

          Originally, dictator was just ordinary political position in the Roman Republic given to temporary magistrates to deal with state crises. Until it was abused.
