Trump’s explicit campaign promise of authoritarian rule,
the GOP’s enthusiastic embrace of it,
and the media’s utter failure to alert voters to what’s coming:
At a rally in Michigan over the weekend,
Donald #Trump uncorked one of his longest rants ever in praise of the world’s #autocrats, #strongmen and #dictators.
He hailed Xi Jinping of China as “brilliant” for controlling 1.4 billion people “with an iron fist,”
and described Xi, Russia’s Vladimir Putin and Hungary’s Viktor Orban as “tough” and “smart.”
