TRUMP IS AN INSPIRATION TO OTHER TOTALITARIAN NATIONS:
Nov. 2, 2018 16 DAKAR, Senegal — The Nigerian Army, part of a military criticized for rampant human rights abuses, on Friday used the words of President Trump to justify its fatal shootings of rock-throwing protesters.
Soldiers opened fire this past Monday on a march of about 1,000 Islamic Shia activists who had been blocking traffic in the capital, Abuja. Videos circulated on social media showed several protesters hurling rocks at the heavily armed soldiers who then shot fleeing protesters in the back.
The Nigerian military said three protesters were killed but the toll appears to have been much higher. Amnesty International as well as leaders of the protest said more than 40 people were killed at the march and two other smaller marches, with more than 100 wounded by bullets.
A Reuters reporter counted 20 bodies at the main march.

tRump, the man who admires strongmen dictators is bent on making the USA into something resembling the country those "leaders" represent.
If a General in the military said anything like that, he would be thrown out of the military in a second. The same thing should be done with Trump!
RN and Jerry These outlaw actions by Trump only make his cultists love him more.
Shaw... here's an interesting take... Trumps mostly 47% approval rating is higher than Obama's was before the 2010 mid term and higher than 7 of the last 17 presidents before the first mid term.
Which puts him about average as it relates to approval ratings.
Doesn't make him right, or a good president, but his numbers are not totally in the tank.
Per Aaron Blake of the WAPO...
Shaw,
I have started to listen to Rachael Maddow’s podcast titled Bagman (http://www.msnbc.com/bagman). It is about Spiro Agnew. The parallels between Agnew and his followers, and Trump and his followers is amazing. It is as though Trump is channeling Agnew. I’m highly recommend listening to it. The first two episodes are out.
Jerry, thanks for the recommendation.
Dave, Trump never had high approval ratings like Mr. Obama did. And Trump never will he has only his base. He'll never get more than that. Also, 70% of the American people say that he is undignified president and is a disgrace to e office.
