    My first impression after reading the title is to say:

    Amazing how journalists will twist words instead of saying the truth. This is called dictatorship.

    And then I got carious what is the difference between being a Mafia style government and being a dictatorship. Looking online it seems such topics has been discussed by acidemia and I found this article:

    I then skimmed over the Atlantic article, and it seems to lack depth, as it only look into one aspect of comparison between the two, which is offering protection and getting bribe. However, it fail to address any other aspect. Including, this US government is representing Billionaires class, Republican Party, White Supremacy, Evangelical Christian, and Zionist. Trump cannot do what he want, he just representing these groups and finding balance between them.

    I am not sure if this is facism or dictatorship but regardless it is not Mafia government.
