Oligarchy (noun):
A government of and by a few at the top, who exercise power for their own benefit. Their power and wealth increase as they make laws that favor themselves, manipulate financial markets, and create monopolies that put more wealth into their pockets.

All because a mentally ill man couldn’t accept the result of an election.
Now that man is back in power acting more irrational than ever.
