Donald Trump's favorite foreign leaders
Posted on 8/17/26 at 9:05 am

Seems like these are the people he heaps the most praise on, in no particular order:
Xi Jinping
Kim Jong Un
Vladimir Putin
The Prime Minister and Field Marshall of Pakistan
Mohammed bin Salman
Bibi
Ahmed al-Sharaa (formerly of ISIS, now president of Syria)
Did I forget anyone?
Obligatory: I voted for Trump 3 times.

I don’t think there is a single democratically elected foreign leader he likes except for Bibi, Milei and that new guy in Columbia

You know what they all have in common?
They put their countries first.

All countries (minus Israel) that we have an adversarial relationship with …almost like a negotiation tactic.
As opposed to our “friends” where we pick up the tab on allllll of it and then when we ask for help get none.
Hmmmmmm…we need better friends or at the very least quit picking up the tab.

This is very much not true about Putin and Kim whose countries are both economic disasters with no future at the moment

And have you noticed that we're not in open conflict with any of them, even though we easily could be?
Also, probably his best friend in politics was Shinzo Abe, former PM of Japan. But of course that doesn't fit your narrative.
He's also very friendly with CommDani who he has nothing in common with and who hates him. It's called negotiation and relationship building.

The current administration in South Korea is viewed as overly friendly towards China.
By curtailing joint military exercises and saying Kim Jong Un hasn't been causing problems lately, Trump is sending a message like "What if we stop defending you from invasion by N. Korea?"
There's more going on than Trump and Kim Jong Un are besties.

Vicktor Orban was one of his old favorites. Trump sure seems to fancy strong men and aspiring autocrats.

Someone was watching MSNBC this morning. And hanging on every word they said. Pathetic.

So, in other words, Trump is playing 3D chess, as opposed to being one of the most sensitive and dramatic heterosexual men on the planet and telling South Korea "well, if you don't want to be my friend I'll just make friends with your worst enemy!"

It wasn't me.
I hardly watch TV at all unless it is one of the streaming services I subscribe to.
I get all my political news here.
I saw the thread about Kim Jong Un and extrapolated from there.

Sounds correct at least so far.

The RoK Defense Establishment won't let a left wing government get too close to China. They've coup'd before, they'll do it again

Trump said he is not sure he is endorsing BiBi. What is the alternative to BiBi?
quote:
Former Israel Defense Forces (IDF) chief of staff Gadi Eisenkot has emerged as the principal challenger to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Israel's upcoming general election on October 27, 2026.
The Main Challenger: Gadi EisenkotParty: He leads the newly formed, centrist Yashar (Hebrew for "Straight" or "Upright") party.
Polling Status: Recent mainstream polls show Yashar running neck-and-neck with Netanyahu's right-wing Likud party, with Eisenkot slightly leading Netanyahu in personal suitability ratings for prime minister.Background: As a retired general who lost a son and two nephews in the Gaza war, Eisenkot commands deep security credentials that appeal to centrist and "soft right" voters looking for a change in leadership.
Other Key ContendersWhile Eisenkot is currently the opposition frontrunner, other notable figures are challenging Netanyahu from the anti-Netanyahu bloc:Naftali Bennett and Yair Lapid:
The two former prime ministers have formed a joint opposition alliance called B'Yachad ("Together").Electoral Position: B'Yachad is currently polling second behind Eisenkot's Yashar party within the opposition bloc.
The Coalition Deadlock
Despite Eisenkot’s surge, neither Netanyahu’s right-wing bloc nor the opposition bloc has secured the definitive 61-seat Knesset majority needed to easily form a government. The ultimate outcome may depend on whether the opposition decides to form a coalition with Arab-majority political parties like Ra'am

All are dictators he aspires to be like, nothing more, he love feast is no negotiating tatic it’s just envy of the type of leader he wants to be, make all the decisions for entire country. That’s not type leader democracies want or vote for only in his mind is he able to do anything he wants without it being unconstitutional, that’s why he keeps losing in court because he is doing illegal/unconstitutional policies/EOs

So, you saw the other thread but decided you needed a new thread to complain in, because complaining in one thread just isn't enough.
I wish I could say I was shocked.

Can you please point me to where I wrote anything that sounds like I am "complaining"?
