Former President Donald Trump has been vocal in his praise for a number of controversial world leaders. He has referred to communist dictators as 'very fine people', called the head of the Chinese Communist Party a dictator, and labeled Vladimir Putin a 'killer'. Trump's comments have highlighted his preference for 'strong' leadership, exemplified by his admiration for Viktor Orban, whom he described as a 'great man' and 'great leader in Europe', despite Orban being Putin’s main ally in Europe and considered the most hated and isolated leader in the EU. Trump's rhetoric has also been a point of contention for his approach to international relations, as seen in his past dealings with North Korea's Kim Jong-un, whom he nicknamed 'Rocket man', and his order of the attack on Iran’s Suleimani. There was no detailed record from his talks with Putin, and he triggered the worst phase of US-China ties. Additionally, Trump's 'love letters' to Kim Jong Un and his 'budding bromance' with Putin have been criticized by some who argue that it is better to have a 'nice' man governing.
