There is a long history in America of identifying tyrants as those leaders that use their military against citizens to stifle and suppress political dissent. American Presidents have avoided the use of military against citizens… until now. The current President has no compunction against using this deplorable tactic. When a President stoops to this level they place themselves precisely in the category of tyrant. In so doing, they give up the right to represent the people of America.
