Four from the six leaders you mentioned are democratically elected. Not sure how that sits with you but it means that the people chose them to represent them and at any point a vote could be called and the people could tell them all to go to hell.
Are you advocating a different system perhaps one more heavily weighted to what you want and not an overall majority?
@Napoleon
Hitler was democraticly elected as well.
We have to get rid of the idea that democraticly elected = good and not democraticly elected = bad.
On Trump's election, anyway, we need to think about what we mean when we say 'democratically elected' - many political systems claim to be 'democratic', including that of the People's Democratic Republic of Korea.

@indosailor. I'd add Maduro to that list. Venezuela is all but a dictatorship now and it's citizens are beginning to starve like North Koreans.
Fortunately some of you have found a country where, as expats, things are done in accordance with your the moral values you can stand for.
Manilla by the way, streets were controlled by them drugdealers, kidnappings and maffia, say, if Noam Chomsky was president there, the bad guys would voluntarily become gardeners instead.
Peter, which of us have found which country where things are done according to (whose?) moral values (which are what?)? And what do Manila and Chomsky have to do with Trump's spouting about North Korea?
Politics not good to discuss here.

Interestingly, I have a conservative Republican friend who always used to bask Chomsky. I asked him if he had ever read anything from Chomsky, he said no, but then did. His opinion was that actually Chomsky talks a lot of sense. Detractors just cherry pick.
