‘Dictatorial ways’

Well, The Resident has been using the Just-us Department as his private political playpen.
You know Mr. Biden, don't start no shit and there won't be no shit started.
I don't think Mr. Trump can or would use the military for personal vendettas. I find it illuminating Mr. Trump's opponents think he would. I think that says volumes about them. Trump functions as a Rorschach Test once again.

He could, he tried. See, for example, this statement by former Sec. Def. and former 4-star Marine Corp General James Mattis:

In other words you cannot use the military to protect civilians from murder, arson and beatings delivered by antifa and BLM rioters.
Okay ...

Because wanting to call out the military to stop riots is a personal vendetta?
Try again.
Oh, and isn't the National Guard part of the military? I have vague recollections of them being called out to break up riots.

Not on January 6th. Trump offered them to Pelosi before the rally, but Pelosi had other plans...
