Will Donald Trump ever start acting like a President? Or does he desire to be a Dictator?

Unlikely, and he does not care. Nor do his voters. This is the right president at the right time.

Hopefully he fixes enough of the things others were unable/unwilling to do and then you can go back to electing a mainstream president

OP should really see a doctor since politics troubles him so much.

Trump's adlibbed speech at the CIA proves he has a long row to hoe before he has the gravitas and dignity of a President...
It was more a welcome-to-our-frat attitude and at the end the perfect Trump touch was calling one of the CIA people in the audience "beautiful"...
Way to go Donald--especially with the millions of women (and men and children) marching to emphasize their distrust and distaste for Trump, his attitude, and agenda...
Just proves why he won't ever understand why they feel the need to demonstrate...

BHO was the one who wanted to be a dictator so that he could rule by executive order instead of by laws passed by Congress as the Constitution requires.

president obama issued few executive orders than either gwbush, clinton, reagan, carter, nixon, eisenhower or johnson.
Were they all dictators too?

I am sure that is another statistic Sean Spicer will attempt to "magic" away...

When you are so clueless and narcissistic that you believe you can erase a million people's memories, get them to forget tweets from 10 hrs or 10 days past, or ignore visual evidence of thousands of missing viewers at the Inaugauration---you ( Mr President) obviously have more than one screw loose...

He is just coming apart at the seams anytime pressure to perform comes to bear...

The question really is how long Trump can deal with this balancing act...
Right now there is nothing going on that is dangerous...
The fact that Trump, Spicer, et al want to create "fighting points" is very disturbing when the reasons are linked to his lack of self-confidence, inability to deal with even a modicum of criticism, and make productive use of his time/energy and any good will the opposition might still be willing to extend...

The media are still trying to analyze Trump under conventional guidelines--
Those don't work and just allow Trump to direct the narrative...
IMO they need to restrict coverage, minimize/slow down their overreaction to anticipating all the evil they expect him to do, and actually do some research and bring facts to the table...
Paul Manafort, the Russian hacker awaiting extradition, how new DoJ will go after those dtories are important/relevant
Betsy DeVos's business interests in past state contracts--those are important

The story about the "removeded/not-removed" MLK bust is case in point...
Jumped to conclusion, looked like it was done to harass/embarass Trump and rebounded on reporter...
Not smart--played into Trump's narrative of MSM persecution...
Even if reporter made unintentional mistake, Trumpers don't care..,
