Trump has 'enabled' autocrats like Putin to become presidents for life - Business Insider

In this July 7, 2017, file photo, U.S. President Donald Trump, right, meets with Russian President Vladimir Putin at the G20 Summit in Hamburg, Germany.President Donald Trump's attacks on democratic institutions at home and praise for authoritarians abroad has "enabled" and "emboldened" such leaders, experts warn.

"Trump's affinity for strongmen...sends a signal to these and other leaders that there are few costs associated with repressive behavior," Andrea Kendall-Taylor, a senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, told Insider. "Four years of President Trump praising authoritarian leaders, including for their ability to remain in office, has had an influence," Ruth Ben-Ghiat, a historian at New York University and expert on authoritarianism, told Insider.

Berman added: "Trump has created a more permissive environment for would-be dictators not merely by his responses to democratic backsliding and growing authoritarianism abroad; his actions at home have been crucial as well." "He makes it easy for autocrats like Putin and [Chinese President Xi Jinping] to point to the US and say that democracy is dysfunctional and doesn't deliver," Kendall-Taylor added. "By stoking polarization and weakening US democracy at home, Trump is undermining one of the most important drivers of the democracy around the globe."
