"Ex-Advisers Warn: Trump's Secret Admiration for Despots Revealed"
Former senior advisers to Donald Trump have revealed his private praise for authoritarian leaders such as Viktor Orbán, Xi Jinping, Kim Jong Un, and even Adolf Hitler, expressing concern that his admiration for autocrats opposed to US interests could lead to a fundamental shift in US foreign policy if he were to win a second term in the 2024 presidential election. They believe that Trump's affinity for dictators stems from his desire for power and his frustration with the limitations of the US presidency, warning that he could potentially pull the US out of NATO and reduce its commitment to defense alliances, posing significant implications for global relations.
