There is a fine line between democratic leadership and authoritarianism.

Public consultations and transparency are two crucial and lately very under appreciated parts of democracy.

If a leader cheats the voters it is no longer democracy.

Possibly, but the thing I have repeatedly heard is "Trump is doing this because he promised it on the campaign trail". The things might be bad (e.g. some pardon didn't sound great) but I wouldn't describe him as not fulfilling anything. He seems to have made some very specific promises, and has kept at least some of them.

Maybe there's a website that keeps track somewhere.
