If you are sitting in the UK, looking across at the Tangerine Tyrant's bypassing of democratic scrutiny by using a wide range of executive orders, and thinking 'well thank god that won't happen here'.... think again.

As @davidallengreen points out, an incoming illiberal or autocratic leader can use differently named but similarly functioning aspects of the British (unwritten) constitution to do pretty much the same.

You have been warned!
