In Turkey, Erdogan has been moving towards becoming a dictator. Over the past several years he's arrested anyone who criticizes him as well as his political opponents, as well as quashing an attempted coup against him. The latest move on the very slippery slope towards complete dictatorship was to hold a referendum that awarded himself the power to enact laws by decree. Unsurprisingly Erdogan (who has sabotaged elections in the past including cutting electricity to 40 different locations during the election and then blaming it on a cat) won the referendum, and so Turkey's vote makes Erdogan effectively a dictator.
How did the so-called "leader of the free world" respond to the rise of this dictator in Turkey? Did he denounce Erdogan? Did he call them ripe for regime change? Nope.
White House confirms Trump call congratulating Turkish leader:
Gotta love those dictators. It's important to call to congratulate them every time.
Trump also seems to love the nutty dictator-President in the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte who has been busy externalizing his own internal struggles with drug addictions by trying to do a genocide against anyone who uses drugs in his country.
