Second. Maybe you look up the definition of “Authoritarian”. I don’t think you know and just throw it around like leftists calling everyone they don’t agree with a racist
There is no debate on whether Trump want's to be authoritarian, none. I think it's you who should look up the definition.
Merriam-Webster
authoritarian
adjective
1: of, relating to, or favoring blind submission to authority
had authoritarian parents
2: of, relating to, or favoring a concentration of power in a leader or an elite not constitutionally responsible to the people
Does Trump want less or more power for himself; does he want the ability to make unilateral decisions with as few restraints as possible?
Did Trump seek congressional approval for the wars he started? Is there not debate on whether he acted constitutionally?
Did Trump declare himself the sole authority with the power to unilaterally decide whether to annihilate a civilization of 90 million people?
Has Trump expressed admiration for strongmen who the world calls dictators? Examples: Putin, Xi, Erdogan.
This is hearsay so take it as you will (I happen to believe the account). John Kelly claims Trump said, "I want the kind of generals Hitler had." Hitler's generals did as they were told by the all-powerful God-Emperor.
Trump joked that he'd like to be dictator for day one.
I'd say the authoritarian impulse is strong with Trump. He has constraints placed on him but no doubt he'd want none.
You say I don't know the definition of authoritarian. You've said Trump is the
polar opposite of authoritarian. So tell me how Trump is not in any way an authoritarian.
Trump reposted this. Does the post talk about democratic leaders? It says Trump is like Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, the Caesars, Hitler, Stalin, Mao... the only difference is Trump is more powerful.
