On Monday, US President Donald Trump suggested that many Americans be a “dictator”. The comment came when he signed orders to increase federal control over Washington, DC and the prosecution of those who burn the flag, AFP reported.
During the lengthy 80 -minute oval offices Trump criticized his opponents and the media and expressed frustration that he did not receive sufficient recognition for his efforts supported by the National Guard for intervention against crime and immigration.
“They say,” We don’t need him. Svoboda, Svoboda. He’s a dictator. He’s a dictator. “Many people say,” Maybe we like the dictator, “Trump told reporters. “I don’t like a dictator. I’m not a dictator. I’m a man with great common sense and a smart person.”

Trump – who tried to overturn the results of his election defeat of 2020 Joe Biden at the end of his first term – said before winning the second term in November that he would be a “dictator on the first day”.
At the beginning of this month, the Republican Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington to face what was allegedly a problem with a crime, and also took over federal control of the city police department.

Trump said he was also considering the mission of the army to Chicago and Baltimor, focusing on a number of democratic forts. In June he sent the National Guard to Los Angeles – against the wishes of the mayor and California Governor.
The President especially disregarded Governor Illinois JB Pritzker, a loud opponent who strongly refused any step to send soldiers to Chicago.
“You send them and instead of being praised, they say,” You are trying to take over the republic, “Trump said.
“These people are sick.”
Pritzker, a billionaire, such as Trump, launched his own party at the president at Monday’s press conference and called him “would -be” who “wants to use the army to occupy the American city, punish his dissidents and gain political points”.
Trump further tightened his Clampdown on Monday by signing an executive order to investigate and prosecute people who burn the American flag – despite the decision of the US Supreme Court of 1989 said that the act was protected by laws on freedom of speech.
