Dictators typically don't win popular votes legitimately. Dictators typically don't have the courts constantly overruling them.
Europeans tend to have very little idea how the US government functions. Trump is able to do what he does simply because the people voted for a congress that supports him.

It also isn’t how you win in the US. The winner of the popular vote was Trump this last round (unlike his first term), but with a far-from-resounding 1.5%.
I’d argue the opposite, that the US is moving away from the rest of the ‘free’ world.
‘Free’ meaning not run by dictators.
