"I'll just note that your quote Trump has always had a much higher tolerance for authoritarian rulers than most other Western democratic leaders, as well as an inclination to prefer to cut deals neatly expresses the notion we don't mind that Generalissimo X is a scumbag so long as Generalissimo X is OUR scumbag, a core component of Realpolitik.

That's how Trump perceives the world. And guess what? It's the right answer." - Dumbass Dope

Dope now says it is the right answer to leave authoritarian rulers in place.

Contrast that with his talking points on why the U.S. needed to invade Iraq. One of his points to invade Iraq was that it was to get rid of a scumbag authoritarian ruler and help bring democracy to the country.

It looks like his outlook is that he will justify whatever his Republican leaders do. He will do whatever they tell him to.
