The authoritarian aspirations of Donald Trump have been evident since he first crawled out of the slime of his reality TV swamp, seeking to bail out his failing business empire. His ability to sustain the myth of his success was ironically aided and abetted by the media that he maligns as “the enemy of the people.”

As we arrive at the completion of Trump’s first 100 days of his second occupation of the White House, it is more obvious than ever that he is determined to be canonized as the messiah of his MAGA movement in order to ordain himself as America’s first dictator. Even his press secretary explicitly characterizes the devotion that she expects the Trump cult members to display…

For his part, Trump sought to memorialize his 100 day anniversary in a manner that is typical of someone suffering from a severe case of malignant narcissism. It’s typical in that it exposes how deeply he has descended into an acute egomaniacal stupor. But it’s also typical in that it is deeply delusional. In a comment posted to his failing Twitter ripoff, Truth Social, he linked to an article by GOP Sen. Roger Marshall for what he considers to be his accomplishments thus far…
“In just 100 days, we have witnessed one of the most productive presidential administrations in modern history. Trump has already signed more than 140 executive orders, issued more than 40 proclamations, and authored more than 30 memorandums—far surpassing the number of actions many presidents have taken throughout their entire administrations.”
Contrary to Trump’s gushing self-pride for what he regards a “productive presidential administration,” everything in that comment is more representative of the behavior of an unabashed tyrant. American leadership is not graded on how many unilateral actions are taken by a wannabe despot with overt animosity toward democracy. Bypassing the legislative and judicial branches of government is ordinarily done on a limited basis when required by unique circumstances. But Trump is using executive orders, and other instruments of power, to exert his own will, not that of the people.
The Newsweek op-ed by Marshall that Trump linked to was replete with more ridiculously reverential rhetoric. Marshall went on to say that…
“Despite relentless criticism from the mainstream media, radical judges blocking the president’s actions, and Democrats in disarray, the American people stand strongly behind the president’s America first vision.”
Marshall, of course, is lying. In fact, Trump has the worst approval ratings of any president in more than 80 years at this point in their term. Even worse, a poll by PRRI found that “Most Americans see Trump as a dangerous dictator.” That includes a majority overall, a majority of Independents, and even 17% of Republicans. Some may believe that those numbers are still too low, but this is just the beginning.
What’s more, one of Fox News’ most reliable Trump-fluffers, Mark Levin, seems to agree that Trump is an aspiring dictator. He told his viewers that…
“He is routinely violating separation of powers, which goes to the heart of our system. He’s ruling our country by executive orders, administration regulations in order to defy Congress and get around Congress. That is, he’s lawmaking, which is a clear violation of the Constitution.”
Actually, Levin said that on May 19, 2024. And he was talking about President Biden who signed only 42 executive orders in his first 100 days. And Trump posted a link to that clip of Levin on Truth Social. So he must have been aware of it because, as he says himself, he has “one of the best memories in the world.”
Finally, Trump’s shadow chief-of-staff, Sean Hannity, also devoted some time to heralding Trump’s “accomplishments” in his first 100 days. However, they don’t seem to include anything that actually benefits the nation or its people. Unless you regard renaming the Gulf of Mexico, or ending federal support for paper straws, as major achievements to move America forward. Well, do you?
WOW! Take a look at all of Trump's "accomplishments" as celebrated by Sean Hannity on Fox News.Is this what they think the American people want and need?
