strongman

In all, Trump is a personalist leader and an American strongman.

The post-WWII alliances are being tossed aside in favor of new ones with strongman leaders.

Even as Donald Trump, Elon Musk and Vladmir Putin conspire to force their naked oligarchy on the world, most of us have grandparents who remember how fascism works, and we don’t like strongmen.

At least not if the president of the United States admires the strongman next door.

Donald Trump is a master propagandist and expert at being “Donald Trump,” the celebrity, character, reality TV personality, entertainer, showman, real estate tycoon, billionaire, professional wrestling heel, strongman leader and public figure.
