Trump: "It's un-American not to applaud my State of the Union speech."

At a campaign-style speech in Cincinnati on Monday, President Trump tore into Democrats who didn't applaud or give him standing ovations during his State of the Union speech last week.   Calling them "un-American," perhaps even "treasonous," he said, "They certainly didn't seem to love our country very much."

Why am I still shocked at what this man reveals about his concept of the presidency?   Especially after those coerced, nauseating rounds of praise from his cabinet officers, telling him how great he is and what a "blessing" it is to work for him (Priebus).  Trump puts into words exactly what a full-fledged dictator demands in action.   How far is it from words to action?   Let's hope we don't ever have to find out.
