Yet he's deferred to the States and the Courts on every single issue of import. Also, to your points:
We can start with approach to leadership: Classic authoritarian’s attempt to divide and reap chaos through false narratives and rhetoric. Check
There have been a great number of things that were called Trump lies that have been proven to be true. Most of the things in the lists online are Trump being hyperbolic rather than false narratives.
Authoritarians wage war against the free press. Enough said. Check.
I can't believe, with the way the media has acted in the last 4 years, that you can write that with a straight face. The press went from a near-religious devotion to Obama to attacking Trump on every single thing, misrepresenting or outright lying about a great number of them. You can certainly understand why he would start using "Fake News". They just won't cover him fairly. It's not them being an independent press fairly holding the administration accountable; it's them being outright activist against him and Republicans in general. Of course, they probably confirm all your biases so I'm sure you love them.
Authoritarians attempt to control the media. Let’s see recent threats against Facebook and Twitter, hmmmm. Who can ask questions who can’t, denying press access etc etc
Those threats were made in reaction to Facebook and Twitter's actions of not covering him. It wasn't like he started on them unprovoked as some kind of master plan.
Authoritarians suppresses Democratic election. Claim that every election is riddled with fraud. Arizona, Florida and he’s setting the stage for 2020.
Your point here is ironic after the media of the last 4 years and your own favorite historian's posts.
Authoritarians present alternative facts. What you see is not reality. Largest crowds ever just don’t pay attention to the images.
Yet many of his rallys have been yugely attended; more so than Clinton was at the time and more than Biden. And Trump is a hype-man, everything is the best, biggest, most beautiful, etc. You're stretching this on both ends.
Authoritarians support other authoritarians and ask for help and favors to get re-elected.
Prove it. Because we're tired of hearing about phantom collusion after the last 4 years.
