I hate to disagree with you but those farce leaders that you have mentioned do not seem to bode with Trump who has a lot more choices than them. The Commander in Chief has got just about everything one may need to continue the legacy; however, he stunningly chooses to give it up in exchange for his personal ego. On the other hand, Putin has the NATO knocking at his doorsteps and economy in a shithole, Lenin's had scores of hungry Russians staring at their wealthy Czar's palace and at Alaska sold for a few million dollars to the US, and then Stalin's had Hitler pointing guns at him. What I see in the actions of Trump, in the case of Asia (VietNam), is the arrogance, little knowledge of politics and history and the inability to resist his emotions which all is extremely dangerous for all of us. The current American president's background suggests that he not only comes from the region where Hitler was from but he also is of similar character as the horrific Nazi leader who sustained his supporters while pulverized his opponents was.
