It's pretty reasonable to just say that we should wait and watch what he does. It'll be pretty easy to see if he's actually abusing his power.
people have been saying "just wait and see" every time donald Annoying Orange does these increasingly worse things, essentially numbing us to how abnormal they really are. at some point we need to draw a line, and if we're too late it wont matter. direct confrontation as soon as he does this stupid garbage is the least we can do, and passively allowing whatever it is that he desires is, historically, an incredibly bad idea.
all fascists, and yes especially Riddler, have come to power because the public was passive enough to allow it, and decided to reserve judgement in case of some beneficial final outcome. however, egotistical and power-hungry leaders have a tendency to abuse this by taking baby steps into essentially inescapable fascism.
