Trump's con games: he is "protecting women" and "defender of democracy"

Trump knows his Achilles heels are his positions on women's reproductive health and his wanting to be a dictator on day one.  Democracy and women's control over their bodies' health are the issues on the table that have given his opponents par or a slight edge.  His attempt to turn the tables is worthy of a belly laugh:  No'"I will protect women" and" I am the defender of democracy," he proclaimed within this past week.  Those are very hard sells after all he has done in the past to grab women in their private parts, cheat on his wives, and make it his goal to overturn Roe v Wade.  An even harder sell is having promised he would be a dictator on day one as the one to defend democracy.   He is the one who said he wanted to be a dictator and who engineered a violent coup or who forced those who once were loyal to him to defy the law and arbitrarily count fake electors in place of the certified ones or to "find" his missing votes. With that kind of defender of women, it's the women who need real protection from him.   With that kind of defender of democracy,  who needs a dictator? He already fits the job description.

Let's at least agree on the definition of terms. 

DEMOCRACY: This one from Meriam Webster:  a

government by the people especially rule of the majority.,,,a government in which the supreme power is vested in the people and exercised by them directly or indirectly through a system of representation usually involving periodically held free elections." That is roughly the kind of government we have had for 250 years.  (Thank you, Trump, you almost succeeded the first time in overthrowing the vote of the people, and you are already planning to do it better the second time)

DICTATORSHIP From  Cambridge:
"Dictatorship is a form of government in which one person or a small group possesses absolute
 power without effective constitutional limitations. (Thank you, Supreme Court, for that immunity gift to Trump)
 

AUTOCRACY: from Cambridge: "government by a single person or small group that has unlimited power or authority. "     My observation: This differs only from dictatorship because it is the rule of a person,  not of a group.
