The problem here is that a lot of actions done by Trump and his guys have the same handwriting as the deeds some people did who then became dictators.

The question is how many steps can he take before it's too late to stop it?
To me it seems like you (and others) are making a very big assumption here. You are assuming that Trump wants to be a dictatorial leader of The United States of America. 'They' said the same thing about Obama. For me I would like to see some solid evidence that this is a possibility or that Trump even wants to do it. Being the dictator of Turkey and being the dictator of the USA would be two completely different things. I don't think that needs explaining but I would say that the people who voted for Trump would probable be the most vigorously apposed to such a thing.
