When Xi Jinping changed the law to allow him to run for office as often as he wants to, Trump said that being President for Life sounds nice.

When Duterte started with extralegal killings of drug-suspects, Trump praised him for being a tough guy.

When Trump heard a north-korean news-anchor's over-the-top praise of Kim Jong Un, Trump said he wants that.

When asked about Kim's history of murders and oppression, Trump praised him for being a tough guy.

When Trump saw how everybody lived in fear and awe of Kim, Trump said he wants that.
