Russian leader Putin: a good strong leader despite his dictatorial tendencies.
Turkish Leader Edrogan: he deserves a call to congratulate him on his referendum victory in taking democratic rights away,
Egyptian Leader El Sisi: Strong leader who is a reliable friend to the United States and gets a handshake in the Oval Office (unlike Angela Merkel) even though he deposed the democratically elected government of Egypt in a military coup (they are still counting the bodies).
Philippine Leader Rodrigo Duerte, a leader who has committed questionable executions of drug offenders gets invited to come visit the President in the White House.
The Leader of China, Xi Jinping, leads the one party nation and is looked on by our President as invaluable in tutoring him on North Korea.
This admiration and envy for authoritarian leaders and disdain for ones who were inclined towards majority rule (Merkel, David Cameron, his predecessor) are a very worrying sign for our country and should not be taken lightly.
