Why call the Trumpist control of government a regime, and not an administration

 The demonstratios in DC this weekend were calling for regime change.(Impeach and remove) Why call the Trumpist control of government a regime, and not an administration? The use of the term " regime " is justified.    It is not worthy of the term "administration" because in the past nearly 10 months, what the Trumpists have done to the executive branch is contrary to their role laid out in the Constitution: to faithfully execute the laws passed by Congress. Instead, it has behaved like a wannabe dictatorship, signing executive orders like they are decrees and to be treated like the laws of the land, refusing to spend money Congress appropriated unless it contributes to a power grab or the Trump ideology. In many instances, even then, the act was unconstitutional... done until some lower court ruled otherwise months after the act was committed. Now, some of these court rulings are awaiting the Trump-friendly, empowering Supreme Court to rule in ways that overturn prior decisions. For example, the Trump regime is sending active duty and naitonal guard troops into citites, gerrymandering to politically advantage while trampleing civil rights provisions of the Constitution, passing sweeping tariffs with a stroke of a autopen that is in the purvue of Congress, ordering thhe Department of Justice to launch investigations into political enemies witthout probable cause, and threatening to invade: Greenland, Venezuela, Nigeria, and anyone else that Trump thinks he can try to look like a bully whileattempting to withdraw from NATO, UN, and any other entity that stands in the Trumpist way in fits of rage or to ivert attention from other negative news., while forcing those in the MAGA orbit who challenge Trumpist policies to resign after threats of violence unleashed by words and withholding campaing money. That kind of behavior is more like dictatorships of Orban or even Putin (gulags are only for brown migrants in the US, though).
