That's a flawed analogy and an incredibly lazy form of reasoning.

Basically all you've really said this far is that the POTUS abuses his power and that he has more power than he used to. It's as if you think that unless you have a perfect and optimally functioning democracy then you're "kinda a dictatorship." It's just overly simplistic and imo motivated more by the drive to use hyperbolic language for the sake of rhetoric than anything else.
