They've gone only mad calling Trump a dictator. I think that Trump understands dictation as rule by executive order. That's certainly what he's referring to when talking about drilling for oil and closing the border.
To rule by diktat has a number of meanings. So here there is a confusion of definitions - the MSM are referring to goosestepping whereas Trump understands it as the reversal of Biden's reversals of his policies.
If they are concerned about Trump becoming a dictator in their terms then they should ask him if he plans to abolish the Congress or remove powers from them like the power to raise revenue, determine expenditure or declare war.
If they don't do this then,
the Blue Church is either being thick or attempting to manipulate their viewership via the misuse of semantics or both.

Executive Orders have the force and effect of law and are generally used by the Executive Office of the President to provide direction to Federal Agencies and officials as they carry out operations within the executive branch.

In this table we present the total number of Executive Orders issued by presidential term (not calendar year). Thus, this table does not include other forms of written presidential orders (such as memorandums), or discretionary executive actions not accompanied by a published presidential directive. For an illustration of the many different kinds of presidential directives that are NOT called "Executive Orders" see our Analysis "

Documents vs. Orders. We are counting documents. A single document may contain multiple orders. For example, Executive Order 13990 includes at least 18 kinds of statements directing a particular kind of administrative action (e.g., “immediately review,” “seek input,” “place a temporary moratorium,” “provide recommendations,” “shall rescind,” etc.).
There can be multiple instances of specific ordering language in a given order. Included among the directives in EO 13990 is the immediate revocation of: 9 prior executive orders, 3 memoranda, one pipeline permit, and the 90-day suspension of another executive order. The order specifies 13 regulations for review and revision as appropriate. So a single executive order includes language directing around 40 distinct actions. EO 13990 is just one count on the graphs below.
