    This is true, Glenn. But Carter didn't see the Shah as the model for his presidency. Trump doesn't just praise dictators. He wants to BE onehttps://twitter.com/ggreenwald/status/859458111966515200 …

        That's a totally different point than the one I'm addressing, which is about the claim that Trump's praise of dictators is novel for the US.

        @ggreenwald What's the point here? Trump's not awful cuz Carter praised dictators, too? This is an argument without a purpose.

        If you read the article, you'd know the point, which is about the falsity of mainstream claims about US history.

        Criticizing Trump's FP is OK; it's the doe-eyed hand wringing that goes along with it. Our FP has oft privileged dictators over democracy.

        @ggreenwald Perhaps. But Carter like all other US presidents saw America's role as the world's policeman. Kinda dictatorial too.

        I've stopped engaging with people like @ggreenwald, whose chief motivation now seems to be justifying joining Putin's army of useful idiots.

        pretty damn clear that statement was diplomacy tactic, not Carter's true feelings.Trump truly admires authoritarian murderers.
