Trump's Don Corleone-style threats?

Mr. Trump keeps saying he can win states like Wisconsin, and apparently he thinks the way to do it is by purging the Ryan wing of the GOP from the new Trump Party. “Paul Ryan said that I inherited something very special, the Republican Party. Wrong, I didn’t inherit it, I won it with millions of voters!” Mr. Trump tweeted on May 6.
But the Republican Party is not one of his golf courses for which he can determine who has what tee times. A political party is an alliance of people who share enough principles to unite to win elections and run the government. They can’t be ordered around by Don Corleone-style threats. They have to be persuaded and mobilized. Are Mr. Trump and his campaign going to require loyalty oaths of every Republican officeholder who wants to attend the convention?

Could Donald Trump Implode?

I was reading this article above and was surprised by the Don Corleone comment. Even though I have thought that Trump's style reminded me more of a dictator like Mussolini or Mafia Boss it didn't seem appropriate to say this yet. However, now he is treating the Republican Party this way what other way can this be put. 

Yes. Trump is a strong person used to getting his way. However, do you want someone more suited to being a billionaire used to ALWAYS getting his way in charge of the U.S.?

IT sounds like it is too easy to see him turn into another Hitler or Mussolini. I'm not sure we can trust our government to ANY man like this from ANY Party.
