Doesn’t the Trump family remind you of other “dictators” & their families”

It bothers the hell out of me that Trump considers his closest advisers to be his children and his wife. I find it creepy, because so often throughout history dictators/tyrants have consolidated power by putting family members into positions of power;
Some examples I have found are as follows:
Saddam Hussein.
Son: Uday Hussein Iraqi Football Association, and several media corporations in Iraq including Iraqi TV and the newspaper Babel. Sound anything like Trumps son-in-law?
Son: Qusay Hussein He was second in command of the military (behind his father) and ran the elite Iraqi Republican Guard.
Daughter: Raghad Hussein After the war, Raghad fled to Jordan where she received sanctuary from the royal family. She is currently wanted by the Iraqi Government for allegedly financing and supporting the insurgency and the now banned Iraqi Ba'ath Party.
North Korea:
The whole Fing Kim family from 1948 to the present.
The Phillipines:
Marcos family: Imelda was 2nd in line to her husband before they lost power. She held sway over much national funding that she used to bolster her & her husbands images. This is what I think Trumps wife would be up to, if he were elected.
Haiti: The Duvalier Family
Cuba: Fidel and Raul Castro
Nicaragua: Anastasio Somoza Garcia and his family held power from 1937 to 1979
Argentina: The Perons, Juan, Eva, Juan again & his second wife. Thanks to Sanity Claws
If you think of any others, let me know and I will add them to the OP
