Donald Trump's second term has seen him increasingly act like an authoritarian leader. He's disregarded Congress and the Constitution, issuing unconstitutional executive orders. He even suggested Americans might prefer a dictatorship, though he denies wanting one himself. This follows his past praise for dictators and aligns with comments from former aides like John Kelly, who described Trump's preference for a dictatorial approach. Trump's actions, including military deployments and targeting political opponents, further solidify this concern.
