Gonna be rough for ~~a bit probably~~ the foreseeable future. Probably the rest of our lives.
Once trump commands that sort of power, what’s to stop him from declaring himself the winner of the next election or passing the presidency to one of his sons? Who will be able to stand up against him?
And before anyone says “checks and balances”, when has ANY branch of the government held trump accountable? The times they’ve tried, he’s been protected by his own party and now that they control the senate and the house and the Supreme Court, I ask again, who would actually stand up to trump?
Regardless of how you feel about his personality or his economic policies, giving ANY president that level of power is a stupid fucking idea and a fast-path to fascism. But this country is too stupid to see beyond “democrat bad. Strongman good.”

He already stated he won’t need to be re elected.

He doesn't like his sons enough to pass a hereditary dictatorship to them, he would sell the succession to the highest bidder.
