Donald Trump in a second term would likely install loyalists in key positions in the Pentagon, State Department and CIA whose primary allegiance would be to him, allowing him more freedom to enact isolationist policies and whims.

Pretty much all of Trump’s tactics were taken from/learned from Roy Cohn, who was Joseph McCarthy’s right hand (the man behind the Red Scare in the US.)
I think there is a documentary on Netflix about Trump that goes into detail about his relationship with Roy Cohn (and others) in NYC as Trump was building his reputation in the 80s.
But, yeah, Trump’s tactics are basically those of a mafia mob boss.
Edit: the documentary was called Trump: An American Dream (2017)
