For those of those paying attention, are we embarrassed enough yet?

You know about Donald's affinity for kings and dictators that has been, actually, it's been

over the course of decades.

He always fancies himself one.

It's never been subtle.

Take a look at this clip.

He says, you're not going to be a dictator, are you?

I said, no, no, no, other than day one. We're closing the border and we're drilling, drilling, drilling, drilling. After that, I'm not a day. I was very honored as a man, Victor Orban. Did anyone ever hear of him? He's probably like one of the strongest leaders anywhere in the world. He's the leader of, right?

He's the leader of Turkey.

President Xi is like central casting.

There's nobody in Hollywood that can play the role of President Xi.

The look, the strength, the voice.

It's good to have a good relationship with Putin and Xi and all these people.

They have lots of nuclear weapons.

And Kim Jong-un had a good relationship with. He's a tough, smart guy. And then we fell in love.

Okay. No, really? He wrote me beautiful letters. And they're great letters. We fell in love.

Vladimir Putin. Has anybody ever heard of Vladimir Putin? Yeah, well, that's where we are. Also, Donald, you look really old. That's all right. It's natural.

Okay. This, again, longstanding obsession with the dictator. His father was a sociopath and authoritarian patriarch. So, okay, I get it. It runs in the family, I suppose.

Luckily, it skips some of us. But it's alarming to hear a democratically elected asshole

be so enamored of people we really should hate. So here he is, finally saying the quiet part out loud,

and you know he's wanted to for a very long time.

He doesn't just want power.
