Trump is doing what America and American governments have done since WW2 dictate the the human shape of the world. He demanding to be America’s first Dictator and has called for an army be it national or private to anoint him as such.

America tried tell Vietnam, Nicaragua, Afghanistan who should govern them and lost but by and large were successful in El Salvador , Honduras, Panama, Chile throughout the Americas along with so many other countries around the world. All in open defiance of any UN resolutions about interference. They have defended Israel and other client states for doing the same. It was just business but war became peace and any fight for a peoples Democracy war and the American mainstream media were onside. Now a Despot, the mirror image of what they wanted, and allowed in so many other countries, has been provided with the same opportunity that successive American governments offered others and Murdoch and other corporate media giants are helping.

John Dean, 83, was White House counsel from 1970 to 1973 before being disbarred and detained as a result of the Watergate scandal, which led to Nixon’s resignation in 1974. Dean responded to Trump on Twitter. “This is beyond being a demagogue to the stuff of dictators,” he wrote. “He is defying the rule of law. Failure to confront a tyrant only encourages bad behaviour. If thinking Americans don’t understand what Trump is doing and what the criminal justice system must do we are all in big trouble!”
