Trump: Putin may call himself President of Russia, but he is a Dictator only. The Parliament in Russia is mostly for show and ineffective. When you do not let someone run against you just because they may win and/or you have to use military force to get people to vote for you and/or you have to have a part of your country revote because they did not vote for you and you wanted it to look like you won everywhere and/or your citizens live in fear of not voting for you, then you are not voted in as a President. You are a Dictator!
It seems like Trump wants to be a cloned Putin only in this country. He wants to be a Dictator and not President. A President of this country would follow the constitution and the laws of the land. A President would work withing the job power level of the Presidency and NOT make it into a power level of a Dictator.
