Trump leaving after 4 years (and telling all the protestors to go home)? ....no, that's not a dictator. The only arguable case which could be made might be FDR, but he kicked the bucket in office, so we'll never know. Calling someone a dictator who voluntarily leaves when they're voted out is just...dramatic.

Trump had every intent of staying, but lacked the means.  If elected again, he may correct for that lack, and the Constitutition be damned.  On the other hand, I doubt FDR intended to stay beyond his fourth term, but, as you noted, we'll never know.
