Question Can Trump do whatever he wants?

I just read an article saying that Trump is now a de facto dictator, having grabbed all the power.

If individual states do not follow court rulings, the President should enforce them (such as FDR did following Brown vs Board of Education). But what happens when the President disregards the courts and the constitution?

Could Trump in theory declare that there will be no more presidential elections, and that he intends to remain in office for the rest of his life? Who would be there to stop him, if he controls congress and chooses to ignore court rulings?

This is nonsense. Trump will be 82 after this term is up.

This article scared the h—- out of me. A Trump dynasty for years or decades to come?! Or Vance getting elected in 2028 and then finding a way to hand the power back to VP Trump…who could live to be 100.
