A few examples would help me understand what the author means by Trump’s “defiance of legal limits, attacks on independent courts, and personal use of presidential power”

“Trump is already exercising power on his personal whim, unchecked by other branches or organs of government." How and when? An example to illustrate may help convince someone of your assertion that Trump is a dictator.
The US constitution establishes a separation of powers. If you feel that our president has overstepped his powers then, it is the duty of the other two branches to intervene.
We have a president who is exercising his powers to the fullest and somehow that is objectionable. But when his predecessors were guilty of dereliction of duty, that wasn't equally objectionable.
This article presents and reviews two books from the anti-Trump perspective.
While opposition to Trump is the stance of the Ayn Rand Institute and many Objectivists, there are also influential Objectivists who have expressed strong but qualified support for Trump. These include Leonard Peikoff, Ayn Rand's intellectual heir, Andrew Bernstein, a frequent contributor to The Objective Standard and author of several books explaining Objectivism and promoting capitalism, and philanthropist Carl Barney who has contributed millions to Objectivist causes and organizations.
That's why it would probably be a good idea to have an article in The Objective Standard from a pro-Trump perspective too. That would allow your readers to better assess the evidence and arguments on both sides and come to their own conclusions about our extremely controversial president.
