There’s nothing President Donald Trump admires more than strength. When he really wants to disparage people, he’ll call them “weak” or “low energy” or “sleepy.” And for Trump, no one is stronger than a strongman. “He’s the head of a country. And I mean, he is the strong head,” Trump said of North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Friday morning. “He speaks, and people sit up at attention,” he added. “I want my people to do the same.” Trump later clarified that he was joking. Sure, but it’s not as if it’s the first time he has, often seriously, expressed admiration for dictators and their totalitarian states. He used to belittle Kim, but lately, Trump has been lavishing praise on the North Korean leader ― while acknowledging that he has done “bad things.” Trump has praised Kim as “tough” and “talented” and has not made an issue of his human rights abuses, which include executing his opponents. As someone who also inherited his position from his father, Trump has been sympathetic to the young leader. Cut him some slack, he has a big job ahead of him. “Hey, when you take over a country, tough country, with tough people, and you take it over from your father, I don’t care who you are, what you are, how much of an advantage you have,” Trump said this week as he was returning from their summit in Singapore. “If you can do that at 27 years old, I mean that’s one in 10,000 that could do that. So he’s a very smart guy. He’s a great negotiator. But I think we understand each other.” In Singapore, Trump commented that he liked how positive the coverage of Kim is on North Korean TV ― which is entirely run by the state — and joked that one of the female anchors should move to the United States so that he could get the same treatment, according to The Washington Post. But Trump finds these jokes funny in part because, well, there’s some truth in them. He really does like dictators and seems to want to be one: Show more
