of provocation and military aggression in the lead up to this election? We know from so many of the recent books that Trump idolizes both of these dictators (and compares Erdogan favorably with Hitler, and finds his diction and delivery mesmerizing and can't get enough of it), and they both owe him favors.

These are Trump's two very favorite authoritarians.

Or maybe my imagination is working overtime.
