I think trump, and in fact many in the republican party, would love to throw critics in jail at will, shut down an independent press, and control the judiciary like Putin does. They are tyrants at heart but have convinced a certain percentage of the population that they are actually the defenders of democracy. It's incredibly sad and scary.
