Do Americans want a semi-absolute dictator?

[Beet]

The president has tremendous power within the limits of the Executive Branch. Congress passes many laws where the details of the law, 90% of it or more, is left up to Executive Branch interpretation. The members of Congress are not experts. They are old man and women whose real expertise is getting along with other people and collecting money. So they leave most policy up to the Executive Branch. Which gives it a lot of power. If Americans want him to have even more power, then yeah that's verging on a dictatorship.

On the other hand, if you are talking about solving huge problems like the entire health care system, wealth inequality, or political corruption, then no, the President can't solve those things by himself. He needs Congress.
