Is Trump’s goal dictator or comrade?

In all my years, I never thought I would hear a candidate for president of the U.S. ask a country, who by the way, is our enemy, for help so he can win an election.

If Donald Trump wins, do we call him “comrade president”? Also, does it mean that everybody who voted for him will also be known as “comrade”?

I don’t understand how supposedly intelligent people can buy his line of baloney. The way he puts his ideas is that he and only he can do these things. He sounds like a dictator talking.

Please register to vote. And even if you cannot vote for Hillary Clinton, don’t vote for Trump.
