Is Trump a dictator? Let’s not find out the hard way!
Call the media and your representatives in Congress to tell them to ask Trump every day: “Are you leaving office at the end of this term?” It’s not enough but it’s a start.

7. Cult-of-personality leadership style.
Trump has continuously asserted that he is the only one who can fix all the things that he claims are wrong with America. His sycophant GOP daily treats his as “Dear Leader”.
Only a dictator acts like this.

6. Extended or indefinite tenure in power.
Trump claimed during his campaign that if people voted for him “it will be fixed so good you won’t have to vote again.”
Only a dictator acts like this.

5. Rule by decree or extra-legal means.
Trump’s blizzard of executive orders trampling legislative and judicial restraints on his power are just the beginning. Giving Elon Musk unfettered access to the most sensitive private citizens’ information is another example.
Only a dictator acts like this.

4. Suppression of political opposition and civil liberties.
Trump’s firing of Justice Department officials for prosecuting him for insurrection, and firing Inspectors General of the federal government are brazen attempts to suppress legal challenges to his power.
Only a dictator acts like this.

3. Lack of checks and balances.
Since his inauguration, Trump has made a desperate and concerted effort to encroach on the power granted by the Constitution to the legislative and judicial branches of the federal government.
Only a dictator acts like this.

2. Absence of free and fair elections.
Putin still holds elections. Trump tried to overturn the result of a free and fair election by fomenting a mob attack on Congress.
Only a dictator acts like this.

1. Consolidation of power in one individual or a small clique.
The most dangerous and alarming thing Trump is currently doing is telling government employees that he is the sole interpreter of the Constitution and laws of the USA.
Only a dictator acts like this.
