What third world authoritarian leader does Trump remind you of?

[DemocratSinceBirth]

As much as I despise him he lack Hitler's genocidal tendencies. Trump's North Star is self aggrandizement and enrichment.

14. Have to go with Idi Amin

He was a pompous blowhard as well.

His full self-bestowed title ultimately became: "His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular"

Yeah, he was nuts too.

Genocidal Psychopath.
