I’m a victim of an attempted coup by over aggressive police, biased prosecutors, and a hostile media. I can’t put quotes around the sentence because Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said it in Hebrew and it was repeated by his interpreter. Interpreters around the world are saying the same thing in their country.

Trump may not be the leader of the free world or even respected by other leaders, but he is imitated by other incompetent leaders who have damaged their country’s democracy or are involved in corruption. As long as they can blame people in their own governments, their opponents, previous leaders, and, of course, the real investigative media, they can dupe the followers in their country. Being the world’s leader in those behaviors is not one we want for our President.
