Is Donald Trump really a dictator

By Afaf Aniba

I will discuss this from a neutral standpoint, for I am not an American citizen and I do not support Trump’s foreign policies, especially in the Islamic world. That said, I believe that the demonization of Trump within the United States by the American elite—regardless of their political or ideological orientation—does not serve their country’s interests. Trump won thanks to an electoral base that holds firm views on many internal American issues, and everyone should respect the will of that majority which brought him back to the White House.

The problem with many Americans, both elites and ordinary citizens, is that they are saturated with a culture where “everything is permissible,” where freedom has no limits, and where they believe that since they make the laws, no one—including Trump—can overstep them. Yet none of them reexamines those very laws that have become outdated and ineffective under new conditions.

The American left faces a major crisis—whether Democrat, independent, or Green, or affiliated with any organization. It still fails to realize that the left has already failed multiple tests. The wars in Ukraine and Gaza, for instance, were endorsed, encouraged, and supported primarily by the American left. There was a Democratic president and a Democratic majority in the Senate, while those who showed concern for the American people were the Republicans, who wanted to cut military aid to Ukraine. The Democrats’ rigid stance on North Korea and Taiwan has further fueled international tensions—and Trump has nothing to do with this escalation. Moreover, the fierce competition between China and the United States has been portrayed by the Democratic Party as a war, allowing no room for compromise from the American side. The drums of war are being beaten by Democrats—and please correct me if I’m mistaken.

Domestically, as far as I know, the Founding Fathers and the authors of the U.S. Constitution were Christians. So how can we explain that today the Church has become an alien institution in America, and that many Americans have turned away from religion? How do we explain the extremism of atheists in their hostility toward Christian conservatives and their intolerance toward them? Birth rates are declining; abortion must be curbed—but such measures displease progressives and radical feminists. Morality is deteriorating, Christian concepts of chastity have vanished from American society, and the values of hard work and diligence are in decline.

Internally, Americans are suffering from overlapping crises. Trump came forward with a program; he should have been given a chance to implement it, and after his term ended, people could have voted for someone else. But the current domestic situation in America forewarns of civil conflict and geographic division. Frankly, enough of wars ……
