China has taken it too for long time ago. There is no democratic elections there and the president becomes a president for life. The moment you take the option away from people even if you make your nation a great place, then you are a dictator and that is taking it too far. I rather have the option and possibility of a bad person getting elected then have the forced good president.
I know it may sound silly to some people, but honestly the fact that Trump was elected is a great thing about democracy, it shows that even the unwanted could become wanted and yes I hate him but I support his right to be elected because that's democracy. He turned out to not like democracy so much when he lost, but still he had to abide the rules and got out when he lost. All in all I rather have someone like Trump being able to get elected then the best president there is staying in power forever.
