what is the name of the government currently being formed by trump and his dumpteam?

Recently read an article, can't pronouse the word for the life of me not can I find the articles. The word was something like Patriot something..

The tldr of the old government form that was basically obsolete was all power controlled by one guy, basically a postmodern king of sorts.

It's garbage but yeah...what's the word?

Edit: it's Patrimonialism - https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patrimonialism

  So, a paternal one, a patriarcy.
  
  Mmmm, not really.
  Patrimonialism would also force all corporations to report to trump directly. He would fulfill demands from companies and citizens, for a cost or favor. I believe with paternalism the corporation themselves wouldn't be affected by his made up on the fly rules unless I'm misunderstanding my quick reading which is highly plausible since I'm working
  
  Ahh...I see. Im mainly familiar with the word from Anthropology studies, not really political, more cultural.
