Trump is the president of the United States, I don't see any reason not to admit that.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

What makes you see him as being anything like a dictator? Wasn't Obama more characteristic of this by enacting tons of executive orders resulting in circumvention of congress whose responsibility is to make laws?

"Don't believe the media, don't believe the judges, don't believe the FBI, don't believe the Special councel, it's the deep state, don't believe any of them, just believe me."
He's nominating, appointing, people to positions who either have no understanding of those positions or who don't even believe those agency's should exist in the first place. In other words he's not appointing professional, ethical people, he's only appointing loyalist's, losers that he can control.
Put those two things together and what do you have?

How can Trump be called a dictator when a majority of politicians (and bureaucrats appointed by Clinton and Obama) are not siding with Trump? Wouldn't someone have to do more than simply removing corrupt workers in order to be called a dictator?

It just doesn't sound like there is any grounds to call him a dictator -- unless you might just want to say that he is a dictator in his own mind.
