Obama seems content to step down from the Presidency once his term is up. It's the authoritarian narcissist Trump who is more likely to take absolute power for himself, with the full support and satisfaction from his worshippers.
Just what has Obama done to make anyone seriously believe he has ambitions to seize power without end?
If the Donald is elected (not probably but still possible) he will not be able to "take over". His powers are limited by the U.S. Constitution and if he tries anything extreme he will be impeached, tried, found guilty and removed from office just as the Constitution specifies. If this happens it will be a First in American history. But it will happen if President Donald does not behave himself.
Sure, there's little chance of Trump achieving a dictatorship, but he certainly could do a lot of harm trying to do it.
The military and the CIA have already stated that they would refuse to carry out an illegal order from Trump, so there's hope.
