Is Trump America's first elected dictator?

Donald Trump believes that everything he does is right. Well, ok, he is the elected president of the United States. But as his presidency progresses, he is showing tendencies that sound more and more dictatorial. Perhaps other past US presidents ended up thinking like this. I guess Richard Nixon did. But Trump I believe is in a different category. It's partly because he didn't get where he is today by being a politician. He got where he is today by being a wealthy businessman with huge deals in property and real estate, and being a TV show presenter and, of course, being Trump. So he came to the White House with a different view of the way the presidency should be run. As he "joked" the other day, he wants to be America's cult figure, someone who is worshipped, ideolised and someone who is loved and feared at the same time. People like Kim Jong-un, Xi Zinping and Vladimir Putin. He wants this sort of power. After nearly 17 months in office he is showing such dictatorial tendencies that Congress should be seriously worried about the venerated Constitution. But Congress is in a mess and in no position to take on Trump. So the latest move by Trump's administration to seize illegal immigrant children as they try to cross the border from Mexico with their famiies, and placing them in a separate facility - a warehouse - has nothing to do with human rights or the law but looks more like a deliberate policy to blackmail the Democrats into approving The Wall he wants to build along the border. "You let me build the wall and you pay for it and I'll release these 2,000 children." Now if that isn't dictatorial stuff, then I'm living in a different world. Those heading ilegally over the border are now snatched and charged with a criminal offence. Their chilren, classed as unaccompanied minors - because their parents are in custody - are removed into the care of the government. Sometimes what I hear and read every day makes me wonder whether this is really the United States of America. No one, it seems, dare speak up against Trump, so he will go marching on doing what he wants. The only thing is: this is what he promised he would do when he was campaigning to be president. So everything he has done so far was in his election manifesto. So this is what at least half the country actually wants their president to do. While he retains that voter backing, Trumpism is going to reign supreme. You see, he is already the Supreme Leader, Trump Join-me!!
