i don't think trump will be a dictator. it doesn't look like he has that intention - his steps are not cohesive, and not deeply rooted to assert his absolute authority.
not to mention the us has better foundation of democracy.
He signs unconstitutional orders and then attacks the court when they strike them down. He heaps praise on dictators and slams democratic allies. He probably won't be a dictator because he's incompetent but it's clear how he wants to operate.
Probably, but dictatorship comes as more fundamental. Signing orders is the worst way to do it. You first grow a base thqt would support you, bring them into positions that would strenghten your absolute power. Sure trump is doing that somewhat but i dont think it is happening at fundamental levels. You also need charisma somewhat.
Good thing is, the US has the checks and balances that would make it really hard for him to achieve his potential goal. It takes more than one guy to make it happen.
