Disturbing but true. If you've ever watched Samanatha Bee's piece on it when she traveled there.

Perhaps from a distance, he is seen as a strong man leader. Maybe it is what they are used to having and admiring in a leader. They are, or had been, getting support from the US for a long time now, through Obama's time, but it seems they respect more a blistering braggart than a diplomatic courteous President. Maybe that was also tinged with racism.

Maybe a few will change their tune now
