It is not a secret that Trump supporters applaud a "strong-man" leader who openly discredits and defies the media, labeling all media reports that are less than positive as "f**e"; openly dismisses and makes up derogatory names for all those who articulate any criticism of his ideas or authority; defies and resists any challenge or investigation by the Congress, including ordering his subordinates to ignore subpoenas; dismisses the authority of the Justice department; wants to "Your fired" any figure that resists his authority; buddies up to and has a strange attraction to dictators; is a narcissist who loves to see his name displayed on massive structures; feeds on the adoration of cheering crowds; has no regard for t***h, and will thoughtlessly fantasize, exaggerate and lie when ever it suits his immediate needs; and openly displays contempt for accountability and appears to resent all those who think he should be accountable.

In short, Trump would like to be a dictator as much as our system of government permits; and beyond what our forefathers who designed the checks and balances for good reason, would permit.
This is why he was elected; and is, in part, why his supporters still defend him, no matter how indecent and vile he presents himself.

Back to the original post in this thread, there is a pattern. He is a "strong-man" leader who would love to govern as a dictator, and that is why he is admired.
