Tim Rogers, a journalist, said the US leader had no respect for the “sanctity of the presidency.”
The expert on Nicaragua’s Sandinista Front for National Liberation and the country’s former President Daniel Ortega, Mr. Rogers said it was common for Latin American leaders to stay in power for long periods.
He added that he sees similarities between Mr. Trump and the likes of Mr. Ortega.
Describing Mr. Trump as a “tribal leader,” he said Trump was “dividing” the US as opposed to uniting it.
“This is a dangerous moment for the country,” he wrote on the Fusion website. “Trump has shown no interest in preserving the sanctity of the presidency or the traditions of U.S. democracy. He might not even be familiar with them.
“Trump is only interested in Trump. He’s willing to sacrifice everything for the sake of self-preservation. This is how dictatorships are born.”
He added: “Shortly after Daniel Ortega was elected president of Nicaragua in 2006, renowned author and intellectual, Sergio RamÃrez, told me, ‘Anyone who thinks Ortega is going to leave office at the end of his term is being naive.’ I was naive. I didn’t see it coming, even after I was warned what to look out for.
“I might be naive again by thinking that Trump will try something similar by refusing to go away when his time is up. But Nicaragua taught me it’s best to err on the side of caution when dealing with authoritarians.”

You can tell your story to fools like you. You are worse than blind if you can't see what Trump has done so far. Objective and straightforward observers of Americans are witnessing what they didn't see in decades past. Media propaganda may hide the truth from you but it's left for you to want to see things the way they are.
