His main aim is personal enrichment. Comparable dictators are not Hitler, Stalin or Mao who had ideological aims albeit warped. Trump's personality is more like Mugabe, Ceaucescu, Ferdinand Marcos or Viktor Yanukovych who all did everything they could to enrich themselves at the expense of the population. As there is a functioning democracy in place in the USA, he'll find it much harder to achieve his goals.As I said last night I think he saw the presidency as his own fiefdom, and didn't realise how much control there would be on him. I think he expected to be able to overrule and control the system in the same way Putin can.
