Send a commando squad to the Supreme Court and have them killed, then send another commando squad to kill all Republicans in Congress so he cannot be impeached, convicted, and indicted, because according to Republicans, indictment can only happen after impeachment and conviction. Then he should have a bunch of Democrats in Congress killed to increase the intimidation level, along with killing the Joint Chiefs and Secretaries of the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, the CIA and the FBI, and replace them with his cronies.

Most importantly, he should then send commandos to capture Trump and ship him off to Guantanamo.

Finally, he should declare himself king of the USA and tell all Republicans to go to Hell!

the only way to stop a truly unhinged Trump.

Obviously Biden will never do any of bad things listed.
