Unhinged and Unfit: Donald Trump and the Dark Side of Republican Politics A reckless prospective foreign policy and a troubling unfitness to hold the nation’s highest office – why Donald Trump is the thorn in the side of the Republican party and a threat to democracy. https://www.kyivpost.com/opinion/28956
https://edition.cnn.com/2024/03/06/politics/takeaways-super-tuesday/index.html Haley’s strongest performance came in cities, college towns and suburbs. The suburbs, in particular, could pose problems for Trump. College-educated voters in those regions have shifted hard in favor of Democrats since Trump emerged as the Republican standard bearer in 2016, and the support for Haley on Tuesday could signal his continued weakness.

Former advisers sound the alarm that Trump praises despots in private and on the campaign trail https://www.cnn.com/2024/03/11/politics/trump-despots-advisers-sound-alarm/index.html To Donald Trump, Hungarian strongman Viktor Orbán is “fantastic,” Chinese leader Xi Jinping is “brilliant,” North Korea’s Kim Jong Un is “an OK guy,” and, most alarmingly, he allegedly said Adolf Hitler “did some good things,” a worldview that would reverse decades-old US foreign policy in a second term should he win November’s presidential election, multiple former senior advisers told CNN. “He thought Putin was an OK guy and Kim was an OK guy — that we had pushed North Korea into a corner,” retired Gen. John Kelly, who served as Trump’s chief of staff, told me. “To him, it was like we were goading these guys. ‘If we didn’t have NATO, then Putin wouldn’t be doing these things.’” Trump’s lavish praise for Hungarian Prime Minister Orbán while hosting him at Mar-a-Lago on Friday, just days after all but sealing the Republican nomination on Super Tuesday, shows it’s a worldview he’s doubling down on. “There’s nobody that’s better, smarter or a better leader than Viktor Orbán,” Trump said, adding, “He’s the boss and he’s a great leader, fantastic leader. In Europe and around the world, they respect him.” The former president’s admiration for autocrats has been reported on before, but in comments by Trump recounted to me for my new book, “The Return of Great Powers,” out Tuesday, Kelly and others who served under Trump give new insight into why they warn that a man who consistently praises autocratic leaders opposed to US interests is ill-suited to lead the country in the Great Power clashes that could be coming, telling me they believe that the root of his admiration for these figures is that he envies their power. “He views himself as a big guy,” John Bolton, who served as national security adviser under Trump, told me. “He likes dealing with other big guys, and big guys like Erdogan in Turkey get to put people in jail and you don’t have to ask anybody’s permission. He kind of likes that.” “He’s not a tough guy by any means, but in fact quite the opposite,” Kelly said. “But that’s how he envisions himself.” (More of Trump praising dictators at above url)

I noticed GXB that when you don't want someone to see the whole story, you don't cut and paste it, you just provide a link. You didn't want anyone to see the statement--"according to John Kelly". ----That's pretty disgusting of you GXB and you have shown yourself to the board, much in the same way that WXB has.

'Kleptocracy': Red flag raised Trump is putting America on the path to dictatorship https://www.rawstory.com/trump-dictatorship-2667524366/ Trump cozying up to the steely Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and revering Russia's Vladimir Putin are the tell-tale signs of a democracy-deficient direction he'd like to take the country. This week former president Donald Trump broke bread with Orbán and suggested he could end the Russian-Ukranian war by preventing even a "single penny" be allotted to fight the invasion. "That’s why the war will end, because it’s obvious that Ukraine cannot stand on its own two feet," Orbán huffed afterward. Jacob Heilbrunn, author of "America Last", appeared on MSNBC to touch on Trump's blueprint for a second term. Should it happen, it likely would witness Trump striking a kind of deal with both leaders while enriching himself in the process. "In the end, it is all about the grift," he said. "Orbán is exploiting the so-called immigration crisis just the way Trump is attempting to do it on the southern border right now." There's a reason immigration has been propped up so prominently in Trump's rants. "But, broadly, these are useful issues to claim power. and then, it is about monetizing it for the family," said Heilbrunn. "That is exactly what we are seeing with the Trump family, right now, as the Republicans claim that Hunter Biden is some kind of Napoleon of crime when, in fact, as we see Kushner and Grenell and Trump himself engaging in deals in the Middle East. so, that is where I think the United States would be headed, toward a kleptocracy." The 45th president's son-in-law managed to mint a $2 billion windfall investment from Saudi Arabia which has also been accused of being a "grift". Criticism over the $2 billion investment gifted by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to Jared Kushner's firm was being scrutinized while Trump's businesses apparently had been collecting millions in foreign payments while he was in office. Just today, Kushner has also confirmed that he was finalizing major real estate deals in both Albania and Serbia. The New York Times reported that Kushner's exploration in the Balkans "appear to have come about in part through relationships built while Trump was in office." Heilbrunn sees parallels to Trump and his family's power plays as a troubling "form of oligarchy". Watch below or at the link. (Video in article)
