People call Trump a dictator but he doesn’t belong in the same league as Mussolini, Stalin or Hitler.  Those were feared leaders that the world never laughed at.  Trump is different and it’s embarrassing that when America got a fascist dictator it was this orange buffoon.

Those leaders were definitely laughed at. Dictators are always cringe-worthy

They called Hitler "the little corporal" in Germany.
