You're not going to be a dictator, are you?

I said, no, no, no, other than they won.

In 2025, the United States inaugurated a president,

and that president now seems to see himself

as an all-powerful, unaccountable king.

I could stand in the middle of Fifth Avenue

and shoot somebody and I wouldn't lose any voters.

We have hit hundreds of targets in Iran, Venezuela, Los Angeles, Chicago, Minnesota. If we go to Portland, we're going to wipe them out. Have some of these raids gone too far? No, I think they haven't gone far enough. We're getting rid of programs that we didn't like. To the Trump administration, you will pay a tariff. In four years, you don't have to vote again. we'll have it fixed so good. You're not going to have to vote. But Donald Trump wasn't the one who originally came up with the idea of turning the presidency into a monarchy. That was the goal of a decades-long master plan. Well, when the president does it, that means that it is not illegal. I'm the decider, and I decide what is best.

Where they won't act, I will.

I'm David Serota.

On our new season of Master Plan, we uncovered the stealth plot to create an all-powerful president.

Unitary executive.

Unitary executive.

This unitary executive theory.

After a year of in-depth investigation, the levers journalists reveal the hidden scheme to eliminate

checks and balances, crush democracy, and turn government by the people into government

by one man.

If this were a dictatorship, it'd be a heck of a lot easier.

Just so long as I'm the dictator.

Out, hour, out.

Get ready for Master Plan season two, the Kingmakers, how the presidency was turned into a monarchy.

The new season launches March 16th.
