George W. Bush satisfies all these five criteria.

    • Bush can do anything he want, thanks to the PATRIOT Act and his veto
  • governs outside the otherwise accepted rule of law;
    • Guantánamo Bay (locking up unconvicted alleged "terrorists" and torturing them because the area doesn't legally belong to the US and thus the basic human rights don't apply there)
  • commonly (but not necessarily) gained power through fraud or a coup d'état, or resorts to them to stay in power;
  • may develop a cult of personality;
  • may be autocratic, oppressive, despotic or tyrannical.
    • He was tyrannical/oppressive when invading and conquering Iraq.[3][4]
