Remember Idi Amin Dada? He was president of Uganda, which probably seemed like a lot of fun at first — a goofy new guy who wants to mix things up and “Make Uganda Great Again.” So he started with persecution of ethnic and political groups. This was back in 1971.

In 1973, U.S. Ambassador Thomas Patrick Melady described Amin’s regime as “racist, erratic and unpredictable, brutal, inept, bellicose, irrational, ridiculous, and militaristic.” Accordingly, the United States closed its embassy in Kampala. You know, because heaven forbid America ever be associated with such awful things. We had an image to protect! (I will now laugh ironically. Tee hee.)

By 1978, the number of Amin’s supporters and close associates had shrunk significantly, and he faced increasing dissent from the populace within Uganda as the economy and infrastructure collapsed as a result of the years of neglect and abuse. His detractors had also shrunk considerably, as Amin had allegedly eaten many of them, Amin claiming it was their own fault for being delicious.

At the time America thought: “Silly Uganda! We’d NEVER let a maniac like THAT run things here!!

Fast forward 40 years or so, and guess what happened?

Well, Donald “ Amin 2.0” Trump became president. So he started with persecution of ethnic and political groups. Then he created a regime that was racist, erratic and unpredictable, brutal, inept, bellicose, irrational, ridiculous and militaristic. Yay!

By 2017, the number of Trump’s supporters and close associates had shrunk significantly, and he faces increasing dissent from the populace within.

Amin and Trump would have absolutely been BFFs if they had met at a party. They would have shared each other’s lives, and would have had many deep late night talks about how unfair it is that they’re being persecuted for their insane lunacy, and maniacal actions and deeds, and then would brag about what an amazingly great job they’re doing.

There are subtle differences. While Amin was able to single-handedly murder 300,000 or so people who vexed and opposed him, Trump has yet to do so because Amin, at least, had a work ethic where he didn’t run off to play golf at resorts he owned 15 out of 15 weekends.

However, It took Amin seven whole entire YEARS to lose his fan base of supporters, despite the fact that he was a whirling dervish of murder. And yet, it took Donald Trump only four months to accomplish the very same thing.

At the time of his death, Idi Amin was said to be suffering “from the advanced stages of syphilis, which has caused brain damage.” The striking similarities between Amin and Trump now leave many wondering if Donald Trump is now also in the advanced stages of untreated syphilis, causing brain damage. His ongoing level of lunacy has indeed impressed thus far.

Besides firing former F.B.I. Director, James Comey, the man in charge of investigating him, which to Trump “seemed like a fantastic idea,” (according to terrified White House inside sources), also of note, as of late Trump has given other very subtle hints that he doesn’t like being investigated for things like:

treason,

money laundering,

obstruction of justice, and

unethical conflicts of interest.

Trump DOES however, like to incessantly complain about the way OTHERS handle classified information. He feels that only Donald Trump should be able to freely leak highly classified info, directly to adversarial countries, because he’s SPECIAL! (As evidenced by his extra scoop of ice cream and fancier chicken sauce.)
