North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un uses military purges too, and in some creatively horrific and macabre ways, and he has already endorsed Donald Trump for U.S. President.

Turkey's Erdogan just purged of dissenters from the military, he said he was going to "cleanse our army." Is this Trump's plan too?

China launched a purge campaign to clean house in the Communist Party’s People’s Liberation Army. Sweeping up generals and senior military officers, even retired officers. Trump might use Chima's example as a role model.
