dictator's
Belonging to autocrat
Dictator's is the possessive form of dictator, a ruler who exercises absolute power, typically one who has seized control rather than being democratically elected.
The word commonly appears in phrases describing things belonging to or associated with such leaders: the dictator's palace, the dictator's regime, the dictator's propaganda machine.
It can also function as a contraction of "dictator is" or "dictator has" in informal contexts.
