what dictators have in common

[Mavideol]

Was wondering what the likes of Trump, Putin, Xi, Maduro, Kim Jong um, Lukashenko, Erdogan, Bashar Al Assad, Al Khameni and so many more, what do this people have in common as I keep remembering what Trump said during his campaign when he claimed he would be a dictator from day 1, he said it out loud and it appears many of us forgot that comment

Trump is not really a Dictator , he was voted in by the people.

I think it is to say that most people would agree that he is a Dichead.

Of course everyone labels Xi as a dictator. And now Trump. 

He has raised the standard of living of the Chinese in recent decades.

 

Also, have you noticed that every conversation on AN turns into a dispute? 

Have you noticed that everyone thinks differently?

 

Do you expect a govt leader to check in with 300 million or 1.5 billion people every time they make a decision?

 

What would happen? 

 

Nothing would ever get done. Because everyone would just argue incessantly. Like the incessant arguing on AN that will never end because people don't see the world the same way.

To compare Trump to Xi is insane.

Xi oversees a country that killed 60m of it's own people during the post revolutionary period, that currently openly engages in slavery whilst harvesting organs from it's political prisoners. Americans who support Xi and hate Trump are themselves sickening. Give me Trump anyway.
