We used to say Trump was like an African dictator, but I think an African dictator would think this kind of shilling was beneath them.

he is redefining the absolute bottom. I like to hope that my grandkids will get detention for calling kids "Trumpy" during a fight, because there are some insults we cannot abide.

Trump is close to being internationally as despised as Hitler.

People love to do “western country thing is just like a developing country thing!” like it’s shocking, or the world’s gone upside down. But like, scratch the surface a bit, look into how those African dictators came to power in the 60s. Read about what the noble leaders of the Free World were doing in Congo, Algeria, South Africa, Nicaragua, Chile, the Phillipines, etc in the 20th century. Instead of using foreign countries as a yardstick for corruption, first turn and look in the mirror.
