Since some people here think he is in the process of becoming a dictator, let's have an atlas wide vote on the issue.

He has authoritarian tenancies, but he's not a full blown dictator. At least not yet.

It's not about Trump tendencies, it is US that's not and never will Russia or Turkey.

I think Trump will issue quite a few executive orders, enough to make the whole "lol obama executive order" meme seem pretty silly in less than a year. We'll see whether or not that amounts to anything in the dictator range.

words have meanings, and sure they can change, but not just because you say that they should.  No, Trump is not a dictator and anybody that suggests he is is someone not worth listening to.

After years of gridlock, I guess people wanted a strongman to beak the cycle.

If he really tries to, he gets impeached and we'll end up with the homophobic radio talk show host.

Clarification, right direction as in the right direction to become a dictator, or right direction as in the direction you prefer? Or both?

Just asking out of curiosity.

As for my opinion, he's not a dictator, and likely will never be, but he'll be more authoritarian than most presidents are.

Let me know when he puts all Muslims in internment camps, THREATENS to stack the Supreme Court, orders the draft, allies with a dictatorial Russia in a major world war, and vetos anti-Islamophobic violence legislation.

Oh wait. That was FDR.

Hey, that's why I said most presidents. Also threatening Chicago with federal troops/martial law is a step closer to authoritarianism. And the views of some of his Cabinet members and supporters aren't exactly reassuring.
