      I’m pretty sure he’s said favourable stuff about those dictators in the past but don’t have the time rn. He did however use the term vermin in a speech to refer to people he doesn’t agree with which is textbook fascist. Have a nice day.

        I think he’s called them smart or strong before, but he also called al-Baghdadi smart before saying he died like a cowardly dog- so I don’t think you can really say that saying someone had respectable attributes means you like the person.

        As for insulting people with vermin, I don’t really see that as a specifically fascist thing, Trump insults a lot of different people with a lot of different words, I’m not surprised fascists used some of them.

        Have a nice day.

        Thanks you too!
