First, let me state upfront that Trump is not a dictator and it’s very unlikely anyone could become a dictator in America. With that said, here’s a list of dictator-like behavior from Trump. Behavior unacceptable by any leader at any level of government in any country.
- Narcissist that likes to see their name and face on buildings.
- Appoint family members to positions of power.
- Hold rallies when you are not running, and they are scary.
- Talk about jailing the press.
- Talk about jailing your opponents.
- You want to hold military parades.
- Muse openly about being president for life.
- You use your office for personal gain.
- You love other dictators.
- You lie so freely to your supporters, they don’t know what the truth is and don’t care.
- You destroy truth and reality itself. Remember “Truth isn’t truth”, “alternative facts”, and “there’s no proof of anything?” As well as, “What you are seeing and hearing isn’t happening.”
- You destroy the people that report truth. The press is the enemy of the people.
- State TV (Fox News), a propaganda channel, and where the reporters openly endorse the leader.
- You have people oversee the elections they are running in (Scott and Kemp).
- A lack of transparency.
- Independent thinkers are gotten rid of.
- You install a personal protector to the Supreme Court.
- You install a personal protector as AG.
The following are additions I’ve noticed.
- Trump calls elections corrupt if his candidate loses a close election. He even calls for new elections when his people lose in a close race.
