Foreign Affairs Names The Key Difference Between Trump And A Dictator

52% of Americans believe the U.S. president is a "dangerous dictator."

The key difference between American President Donald Trump and a dictator is his "desire to destroy the potential of the state" through "ungovernability," writes Foreign Affairs (FA).

According to the authors of the piece, Trump does not aim to gain loyalty and seize power as authoritarian politicians do. Unlike them, the Republican seeks to destroy established procedures, create chaos and to attract incompetent people to the management "to eliminate any power except his own."

According to the magazine, Trump appoints to important positions those people who "clearly do not fit the position". This includes Pentagon chief Pete Hegseth, who was a Fox News host, as well as the heads of the National Intelligence Agency Tulsi Gabbard and the FBI Cash Patel - the FA notes that these are people "without experience or expertise." Among the incompetent officials under Trump, the magazine also listed Ilon Musk, who was given broad authority in the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), which was charged with cutting government spending. Musk has now left the White House.

FA also argues that Trump's policies often ignore constitutional constraints: he has done so by tightening immigration rules and imposing duties on other countries. His desire to govern personally, without sharing power, has led to a dependence of policy on the "mood of one man" - this magazine explains the fluctuation of duties for China up to 145%.

While standard approaches would not have achieved the results that have been achieved under Trump: for example, threats of withdrawal from NATO have pushed Europe to greater independence in defense, which was not before, and ignoring legal formalities allows a radical fight against illegal migration, FA writes.

In April, in a PRRI (Public Religion Research Institute) poll timed to coincide with the 100 days of Trump's second term, 52% of Americans agreed with the statement that the president is "a dangerous dictator whose powers should be limited before he destroys American democracy."
