How to become a dictator, in 8 simple steps.

Step 1: Accuse everyone who says something bad about you of spreading lies.

Step 2: Attack the major media in order to lessen their power.

Step 3: Spread your own version of the truth.

Step 4: Make stronger laws against critisising the leader.

Step 5: Ban protests.

Step 6: Ban any media that aren't owned by the state or do exactly what the state wants.

Step 7: Give yourself more (lifetime) power by changing the constitution.

Step 8: Congratulations! You can now do whatever you want with your country.

And how exactly is that happening? The president should be able to have his opinion on the media if he so chooses. Some people want to think there is something there when there isn't.

Trump is at step 3, Putin is at step 5 and Erdogan is at 7.

I'm not saying that Trump will necessarily become a dictator, but we need to stay critical and not just believe everything he says. Of course, we need to be critical towards every politician, but I think we should be extra careful with Trump since he has a lot of similarities with beginning dictators.
