To BBC News Trump is "changing the shape of Presidential power"
To normal people, he's abusing his position to pursue personal grievances on an industrial scale to the exclusion of everything else.

Deportation for people who attack cars.
President Donald Trump escalated his administration’s threats against those who destroy Tesla vehicles, pondering on social media whether he should send them to a prison in El Salvador where officials last week sent more than 200 Venezuelan migrants who they allege are members of a violent gang.
Trump escalates threats against those who destroy Tesla vehicles
Trump wrote on social media that people who vandalize vehicles made by Tesla — the company owned by Trump ally Elon Musk — could get lengthy jail sentences.

The post from John Cleese is spot on.
Trump surrounds himself with people who are polite and deferential, on his payroll or whose lifestyle depends on him. Little wonder he believes everyone likes him.
For many of us, he's an utterly loathsome individual.

If you were in a plane about to face severe turbulence, would you give the controls to the most boorish, drunk, loud mouthed stupid bloke in business class? Of course not, and when the plane crashes give him another go 8 years later?

We are in the midst of an administrative coup the like of which we have never seen - or even imagined - in our lifetimes.
Every day brings new abuses, new scandals, which can’t just be undone or fixed.
We are in a very dark place as a country and as a constitutional republic right now.
