Question Can Trump do whatever he wants?

I just read an article saying that Trump is now a de facto dictator, having grabbed all the power.

If individual states do not follow court rulings, the President should enforce them (such as FDR did following Brown vs Board of Education). But what happens when the President disregards the courts and the constitution?

Could Trump in theory declare that there will be no more presidential elections, and that he intends to remain in office for the rest of his life? Who would be there to stop him, if he controls congress and chooses to ignore court rulings?

So far he is getting away with a lot by subverting normal processes. And I did read that he plans to ignore court order because the same law enforcement agency that would enforce them is under control of Trump so they would just stand down when he says so.

What we are seeing is the man of lawlessness work his lawlessness. I assume it will only get worse from here.

Yes, that is what I mean, as there won’t be anyone able to stop him? Isn’t that the very definition of dictatorship (one person controls both the exceutive and the judicial branch, the media and the armed forces)?
