Please consider what you're saying. I certainly wouldn't shed a tear for him if he died, but any American attempt to do so would either fail and discredit the opposition, leading to him further consolidating power, or if it succeeded, likely would cause a civil war that would make the previous one look tame. If other countries consider his administration that much of a threat to the democratic world order, they sure as hell had better be ready for a war if they want to take him out. Either a world war if they try to go through the American military to do so, or if they tried to ensure a more friendly government took his place with a quick coup, even if it were a Democrat, the new administration would either have to attack the countries that attacked our leader, or there would definitely be a civil war. Either way, a very horrifically bloody war would result.

So we just have to sit here and accept that he'll get away with every bullshit move he does? Are you saying democracy in the United States is a lie?

Oh for crying out loud, I'm saying it isn't a lie, therefore violence isn't called for! I know you're Canadian, but surely you know we only have elections every two years over here? We haven't even had our first election since he took power! Eight years from now, if he somehow changes the constitution to allow himself to run for a third term, and seems to mysteriously win every time even though he has minority support, then you can question if our democracy is a lie or not. Until then, give our system a chance. If you hate him that much, petition your elected officials to support doing something that will be detrimental to his voters, so they can see that what he's doing is pissing off our allies. Calling for violence at this stage just makes you look unstable.
