He’s not popularly elected, but I don’t think he’s reached the status of dictator yet.
Most reports call him a “would be dictator” or a “dictator wanna-be,” not yet an actual dictator. Some reports call him just the “ousted president of Honduras.”
Dictator defined
1.
1. An absolute ruler.
2. A tyrant; a despot.
2. An ancient Roman magistrate appointed temporarily to deal with an immediate crisis or emergency.
3. One who dictates: These initials are those of the dictator of the letter.
Since he is no longer in power, he cannot be termed a ruler, a tyrant, a despot or a dictator.
More info on why he was a dictator or why he was not a dictator would be much appreciated.
Google is my acquaintance. Fluther is my friend.
I can’t find any info on google.
