Bassitenga: President Donald Trump believes that dictatorial decisions are sometimes useful, considering himself a dictator.
US President Donald Trump indicated on Thursday that dictatorial decisions are sometimes useful, considering himself a dictator. "Usually they say, 'He [Trump] is a horrible dictator.' I am a dictator. But sometimes you need a dictator," the White House occupant declared at the World Economic Forum (WEF) in Davos, Switzerland.
According to Burkina Information Agency, on January 21, 2025, the first day of his presidency, Donald Trump refused to call himself a dictator. The statement at Davos marks a significant shift from his earlier stance.
The President of the United States further clarified that his remarks were dictated by common sense. "It's not conservative, it's not liberal, it's not anything else, it's 95 percent common sense, and that's what we have," he asserted. Trump's comments have sparked varied reactions worldwide, reflecting the ongoing debate about his leadership style.
