I was just thinking today about the alphabet agencies, the dynamic there, and how powerful they have been, historically. If they roll over for him, I don't know how much left would truly be in his way for consolidation of power. But it's hard to imagine that happening without any uproar. There's likely to be some fascist loyalists in there who don't want to give in to Trump's particular brand of fascism.
