> Here we have authoritarian leaning Trump starting to ally himself with totalitarian Putin and China against democratic countries

I haven't seen Trump allying himself with China. Any references?

It’s more looked like lavishing praise on their leader than allying himself with the country. There are some representative quotes here

Thanks. Very interesting quotes...

> He controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. He’s a brilliant guy whether you like it or not.

> He’s now president for life. President for life. No, he’s great. And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot some day.

Best of luck, America!

Xi Jinping is probably gleeful, if he can manipulate that moron he'd have USA under his control. Putin already needs his support for Ukraine, add USA and he'd gain the title of the most powerful person on the planet.

But considering Trump is an uncontrollable toddler, I guess he knows that's a title he can never keep..
