Examples of dictators or would be dictators that either control the media completely (no free press) or want to attack and weaken it constantly.
Putin -controls the media
Erdogan of Turkey- controls the media
The Chinese - Control the media
North Korea - Control the media
Trump - wants to control the media -constantly belittles the media (is a wanna be dictator and has little regard for the Constitution or the freedom of the press it grants to the media)
..more examples of dictators who hate the media can be listed here.
Trump, in his constant attempt to belittle the media that are exposing his lies and criminal enterprise, is absolutely showing himself to be a would be dictator--or wanna be dictator. And he always praises propaganda networks like Fox news that are always praising him and can find no fault with him or his policies.

(31,134 posts)Donald Trump actually never tells the truth unless by coincidence.
And we now see that almost half of our voting public, not public but VOTING public, dont mind.
They figure sure, he is gonna torture some, kill some, shut down the free press but he will never do anything against me, I am a fan, he knows that, he will NEVER hurt me or mine.
