Presidential historian and CNN contributor Tim Naftali argued on Monday that President Donald Trump kept his promise to be a “dictator” for a day by the volume of executive orders he signed after his inauguration.

During his campaign, Trump laid out what he would do on his first day back in office, even referring to himself as a "dictator" but only on "Day 1."

Donald Trump, who overcame impeachments, criminal indictments and a pair of assassination attempts to win another term in the White House, will be sworn in Monday as the 47th U.S. president taking charge as Republicans claim unified control of Washington and set out to reshape the country’s institutions.
