If something is against "national interest" and your president is trying to become an autocrat, that means they can essentially pick and choose what national interest is. This should be setting off alarm bells in EVERYONE'S head as an obvious grab for power.

I'm not american, so I don't have direct skin in the game, but everyone on both sides of the political spectrum who don't self identify as fascist should be against this.

If you don't interpret this as something extremely dangerous, you need to have a sit down and really think about the implications.
