If You’re A Brutal Dictator, Donald Trump Wants to Be Your Friend!
There was an interesting article in Thursday’s New York Times about how Trump’s authoritarian tendencies have given the green light to dictators around the world to clamp down on democratic freedoms in their own countries. And it really made me think.… Continue Reading
