Jinping and Putin are ruthless and despotic but at least they're smart
Trump is ruthless and despotic but a whole idiot. He's not even cut from the same wannabe dictator cloth
Putin was a low level KGB operative that rose up to become Yeltsin's right hand man, head of FSB and eventually leader of Russia.
Xi Jinping was exiled to countryside and had to live in cave after his family got purged by the Red Guard during Cultural Revolution. He then rose up to become Politburo member and then General Secretary of CCP.
Trump grew up rich and spoiled, inherited his wealth, dodged the draft, have to scam his way through troubles, and he also has no political experiences.
As wise people said, If you want to lead you must first learn to follow.
