#204 Major DEI Boazo claims that, "progressives love themselves a dictator."
Whoops ...
Donald Trump has a documented history of expressing admiration or having good relations with several leaders widely considered to be authoritarian or dictatorial strongmen. He has praised their leadership styles, strength, and control over their respective countries.
Leaders often cited in media reports and political commentary as those Trump has praised include:
- Kim Jong Un (North Korea): Trump famously spoke of their "beautiful letters" and said they "fell in love," describing Kim as "very smart" and having a "very good personality".
- Vladimir Putin (Russia): Trump has often praised Putin's strength and control over Russia, contrasting it with American leadership and downplaying accusations that Putin is a "killer".
- Xi Jinping (China): Trump has called Xi "brilliant," "strong like granite," and praised his ability to rule 1.4 billion people with an "iron hand". He also reportedly expressed approval when China's parliament moved to abolish presidential term limits.
- Viktor Orbn (Hungary): Trump has praised the Hungarian Prime Minister, who has transformed his country into an authoritarian state by rigging the electoral system and suppressing free press and speech.
- Recep Tayyip Erdoan (Turkey): Trump has referred to Erdoan as a "friend" who is doing a "great job" and receiving "very, very high marks" for governing "very, very strongly," despite crackdowns on dissent and journalists in Turkey.
- Rodrigo Duterte (Philippines): Trump reportedly lauded the former Philippine President's handling of his country's "drug problem," despite widespread human rights abuses and extrajudicial killings committed by police and vigilante groups.
- Other historical figures: Trump has made comments perceived as praise for historical dictators, including Saddam Hussein, Moammar Gaddafi, and, according to former Chief of Staff John Kelly, Adolf Hitler (specifically regarding German economic growth and military loyalty)
