‘Where’s my favorite dictator?’: Trump reportedly stunned a room with a deeply revealing joke

AlterNet logoA new report from the Wall Street Journal revealed Friday that President Donald Trump is just as indifferent to democracy and tactless behind closed doors as he seems in public.

Reporters Nancy Youssef, Vivian Salama, and Michael Bender found that ahead of a meeting last month in France with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah Al Sisi, Trump loudly boomed: “Where’s my favorite dictator?”

The Journal explained:

“The witnesses said they believed the president made the comment jokily, but said his question was met by a stunned silence.

It couldn’t be determined whether Mr. Sisi was present or hear the remark.”
