He wouldn't do it from the stump. We wake up one morning to the sound of one of those Emergency POTUS texts saying martial law has been declared, congress and the SCOUTS have been disbanded and the purge begins. 1/3 of America will be dead before sundown.

whatever words fall out of his mouth will be an ode to his own greatness and will imply total and permanent power.

In his mind he would be thinking "king" but he would use a much subtler term, because even he isn't that crazy.
