Which ever way you look at it they are still a democracy, so I think the answer is NO.

Give it a few years. It's still technically a democracy but I think that is set to change.

People get to vote in plenty of places that aren't democracies. Russia and Belarus for example.

Donald isn't self-made billionaire - he inherited his wealth and has barely increased it more than it would in an average savings account.

There are no true democracies because most folk are too busy earning a living to participate in all political discussion and planning. Consequently they all chose someone to represent their views (although typically the elected candidate prioritises their own views, and the views of their party before the views of their constituency, so the public has minimal effect on policies despite theoretically being those who are meant to be deciding).

The folk who become candidates will likely be those in a position to try; consequently the democratic process gets effectively doped by other influences/systems. That could be, for example, public school folk who have made the contacts to get in on the game, or, as another example, those who have vast reserves of wealth to fund a campaign.

In the end a nation's political system is likely to be a combination of systems and can be a mix of, for the sake of argument, both plutocracy and democracy.
