re: Trump Says He’s ‘Standing’ With Xi (and With Hong Kong’s Protesters) (The New York Times, 23 November, 2019)
When Trump says of the brutish communist dictator that "He is a friend of mine. He is an incredible guy," it is all too credible. A tyrant who brutally suppresses his nation, suppresses religious freedom, suppress free markets, suppresses free speech and generally behaves as a communist dictator, is exactly the sort of person who would be "a friend of" Donald Trump.
But since when did US leaders become avid fans of dictators and communism? Since when did being friends with dictators, communist or otherwise, become something for a US president to boast of?
How sadly under Trump has the US shrunk miserably from its former greatness.
