  1. Trump's admiration for dictators and bullies is a product of his own insecurities. He's an extraordinarily flawed human being, just like any bully or dictator, and belittling and shaming others makes him feel better about himself. June 15 2018, Trump praises Kim Jung Un's control over his people. "He's the head of the country," Trump said of Kim during a Fox interview. "And I mean he's the strong head. Don't let anyone think anything different." "He speaks and his people sit up at attention,"  Trump added. "I want my people to do the same." Sept 30 2018, Trump confesses the love he has for his muse, Kim Jung Un, during a rally. "I like him, he likes me. I guess that’s okay. Am I allowed to say that?” Trump said.  “And then we fell in love, okay” he said. “No really. He wrote me beautiful letters, and they’re great letters. We fell in love.”

  2. Demagoguery is an appeal to people that plays on their emotions and prejudices rather than on their rational side. Demagoguery is a manipulative approach — often associated with dictators and amoral politicians — that appeals to the worst nature of people. Demagoguery isn't based on reason, issues, and doing the right thing; it's based on stirring up fear and hatred to control people.. Trump's demagoguery has been on full display since day one.
