Of course, you have spilled on about a crazy notion that Democrats cast Trump is a dictator.
Will never happen in this country.
Rather, Trump is a dictator wannabee in his own mind, ... in a nation that generally abhors dictators. Trump is seemingly fascinated by dictators and defers to them. He seems to admire that dictators have no checks 'n balances, no real pushback from within. Trump seemingly likes such an arrangement of power.
In the interests of US national security and foreign policy, US Presidents have tolerated dictators and engaged them. But, they didn't hold them in high regard as Trump publicly has expressed.
Now, maybe my editorial characterization of Tuesday's rally (undoubtedly consistent with and protected by the First Amendment) was taken literally by you.
Regarding Tuesday's gathering, the weird part is not the political rally (on the eve of the Mueller testimony). Rather, it is the content of the Trump intro video and the kids' reaction, that is "different" than what most of use expect from a US President.
My sincere hope is that Trump plays that video throughout the 2020 campaign, and uses it as his introduction at the GOP Convention. It is splendid. It is perfect, It captures the very essence of Donald Trump.
