Trump and his followers have repeatedly proclaimed that Trump is tough and drives a hard bargain. But he's in fact weak and spineless. Truly amazing.

    The first thing strongmen do is kill off anybody competent who might threaten their rule at some point in the future. From there on in it is just a matter of time before the whole thing unravels but they can do a shitload of damage to their country and if the country is large enough to the rest of the world as well.

    That describes pretty much all 'strongman' dictators, really. Particularly the paranoia thing is all but universal.
