And it was an authoritarian tyranny in any way at all how? Yes, he incited the idiotic disaster of a half baked protest/"coup" attempt (interpreting it very generously as far as that goes) on January 6th right near the end of his presidency, but aside from that, uneventful in the sense of turning into anything resembling a dictatorship does describe it. If you beg to differ, name something that differs if you like.
Also, read this article or at least part of its long winded rant. It goes to absurd, apocalyptic levels of hyperbole in anticipating the Trump presidency. Describes him as an "extinction event". Laughable. The centralization of executive power that has indeed been developing in the United States is a cumulative product of many administrations, their cabinets and, sadly, the tacit permissiveness of the other branches. Trump was nothing exceptional in its development and it will continue regardless of presidential officeholder long after he's in the ground. That's the wider point worth debating, instead of a pile of heavy handed anti-Trump hysterics.
