I don’t like dictators,” he said.
However, these remarks came just weeks after he sent armed soldiers and military vehicles to patrol Washington’s streets, insisting—despite evidence to the contrary—that the National Guard was needed to control crime.
This follows Trump withholding or threatening to withhold billions of dollars from universities, as well as the increasingly politicized FBI raid on the home of John Bolton, a prominent critic of the president.
Trump has also taken aim at law firms filing lawsuits he opposes, while the Federal Communications Commission, led by his appointee, is investigating every major broadcast network except Fox, which owns the pro-Trump Fox News channel. He has personally sued news outlets over critical coverage and fired the government’s top labor statistician for publishing jobs data he disliked.
He has threatened Democrats with prosecution and called for former President Barack Obama to be investigated for treason. All this has occurred as his family has reportedly earned millions.He made millions of dollars from his presidency. These actions are not typical for a democratic leader. So, is Trump a dictator?
Take a step back and consider the bigger picture: the U.S. is moving toward full authoritarianism, according to Jonathan Freedland.
“Yes, absolutely,” said Kim Lane Scheppele, a sociology professor at Princeton University who has spent years studying autocracies like those in Hungary and Russia. Scheppele had been hesitant to use the term “dictatorship” until recently, but now says, “If I was holding back before, it’s the mobilization of the National Guard and the suggestion that he intends to crush resistance by force that convinces me we’re there now.”
Encouraged by a Republican party that seems ready to let him do as he pleases, Trump is now threatening to send troops into Democratic-led cities such as Chicago, Baltimore, San Francisco, and New York. This has sparked outrage and accusations of power abuse.
Scheppele added, “He’s actually planning to deploy a military, repressive force into the streets of areas most likely to oppose his rule, aiming to suppress any dissent through sheer force.”
Most contemporary dictators try to conceal their ambitions. Scheppele noted that leaders like Russia’s Vladimir Putin, Hungary’s Viktor Orbán, and Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdoğan go to “great lengths” to avoid appearing like “20th-century dictators,” hoping to dodge the label.
“If you picture dictators with tanks in the streets, soldiers saluting their leader, and giant posters of the leader on government buildings, it all brings to mind Hitler’s Germany, Stalin’s Russia, and Mussolini’s Italy,” she explained.
That’s why Orbán, Erdoğan, and others try to steer clear of such imagery. But Trump doesn’t seem to mind.
Just this week, a massive banner was hung on the Department of Labor building in Washington D.C., featuring Trump staring out over the city with the slogan “American workers first.” On his birthday, which coincided with the 250th anniversary of the U.S. Army, he held a military parade in the capital and was reportedly upset that the troops didn’t look intimidating enough.
During Trump’s first term, as he challenged political norms, the book How Democracies Die—which examines the decline of democracies worldwide—became a bestseller. Steven Levitsky, the book’s co-author and a Harvard political scientist, said Trump has the mindset of “a classic tin-pot dictator” but hasn’t yet become one.
“Technically, in political science terms, no, he’s not a dictator. The United States is, I believe, sliding into a form of authoritarianism, but it hasn’t solidified into an outright dictatorship,” Levitsky stated.
Trump has denied being a dictator, but last week he claimed, “A lot of people are saying, ‘Maybe we’d like a dictator.'” It’s unclear who he was referring to, but he continued this theme on Tuesday.
“The line is that I’m a dictator. But I stop crime. So a lot of people say, ‘You know, if that’s the case, I’d rather have a dictator,'” Trump said during a cabinet meeting.
The Guardian asked the White House what data Trump was using to claim that Americans want a dictator but received no response.
Levitsky pointed out, “Dictators everywhere, first of all, claim that they’re not dictators. And second, somewhat contradictorily, claim that the people want a dictator.”
He reiterated that he does not consider Trump a dictator in the strictest sense, but added, “Dictators everywhere, first of all, claim that…”They claim they’re not dictators, yet at the same time, they argue that people want a dictator—which is a classic line used by dictators.
The U.S. has shown an interest in authoritarianism in the past. For example, at the peak of his popularity, a third of Americans listened to the radio broadcasts of Charles Coughlin, a Catholic priest who praised figures like Benito Mussolini and spread antisemitic messages. Jim Crow laws enforced racial segregation well into the 1960s, and Senator Joseph McCarthy was allowed to target suspected communists during the Red Scare.
“You could always find 25 to 30% of the U.S. electorate leaning toward authoritarianism in many periods of American history, and I believe that’s still true today,” Levitsky said. He added that this now makes up a “big chunk” of the Republican party, and Trump is appealing directly to that base.
“There’s a performative aspect to this government’s authoritarianism, which suggests there is a real audience for it—and that’s very alarming. Honestly, I haven’t seen this kind of performative authoritarianism since the 1930s in Europe,” he remarked.
Trump promised to act as a dictator on day one. We are now well past day 200.
Most authoritarian countries in the 21st century are what Levitsky calls “hybrid regimes.” He pointed to Venezuela, Hungary, Tunisia, and Turkey, where Erdoğan has held power for over two decades, strengthening his position by suppressing media and pursuing criminal cases against those who insult the president.
“These regimes are authoritarian in the sense that they’re not fully democratic: there is widespread abuse of power that disadvantages the opposition. Nobody would call Turkey a democracy, but I wouldn’t call it a dictatorship either. And that’s exactly the danger I see for the United States.”
Levitsky noted there is a “non-zero chance” that Trump could use emergency powers—as he has with immigration measures and tariffs—to undermine the constitution and potentially subvert elections.
However, he added, “The more likely outcome is a milder form of authoritarianism where opposition still exists, operates openly, and competes in elections. The government doesn’t win every battle, but abuse of power—as we’ve seen over the last six or seven months—is so widespread and systematic, and violations of law and rights are so common, that the playing field becomes tilted against the opposition. You wouldn’t call that a full democracy.”
