Why did Donald Trump ally with communist dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung Un?

Engaging in dialogue/diplomacy and not being bellicose is not the same as being "allies".
You are more likely to win people to your side with gentle persuasion and flattery than by hostile confrontation.
Those countries are not hostile to the U. S. They are just defensive against U. S. threats and aggression. It's the same with other countries like Venezuela, Cuba and Iran.
And, at the same time, we are allies with some of the worst regimes in the world like Israel and the new ISIS dictatorship in Syria.

Also, Putin is not a communist. Russia isn't the USSR.

I disagree. Russia is hostile because it is attacking US influence around the world and is aiming to replace USA as the worlds super power. Things like diplomatic agreements and such is just temporary steps in Russias plan to undermine and destroy USA. Nothing so far has convinced me that they have changed their minds on this goal.

As for North Korea, they still have ambitions of conquering South Korea and unifying what they believe to be their rightful national borders which means they are also invested in the downfall of USA or at least severing USA from its South Korean ally which also harms USAs power around the world.

These countries have very legitimate motivations for destroying USA outside of just being comic book villains as opposed to nations like Israel which are just as evil, if not more so, but has global interests that aligns with USA rather than conflicts them.

He admired them n wants to be them. Same as NY high society in the 80s n 90s. They reject n despise him too

He is jealous. They are dictators and there are no silly laws, checks and balances or a constitution to stop them from doing whatever they want.

[Agape93]

He likes dictators. He likes not having anyone stop him.

You can't possibly be so clueless as to really think that, and since you're anonymous, you're obviously just a leftist troll.

But maybe you can explain why Barack Obama and especially John Kerry suck up to the Iranian dictatorship when they're out of office (which is illegal since they as private citizens are not allowed to conduct their own foreign policy). Kerry and many other Democrats "allied" with China to try to get them to go for the Democrats' "green agenda" (no one in the CCP was dumb enough to go for that).

And who could forget Hillary Clinton's "reset button" fiasco when she tried to ally with Putin in 2009?

Now do it again without whataboutism

[beefcakebradybatson]

@DrPepper12 They can't. Whataboutism is the right's favourite way of trying to win an argument when it lacks a valid counterpoint.

[WindAtMyBack]

He hasn't allied with either one of them. He has dialog with them because that's his fucking job. That's what presidents do, they have talks with other world leaders.

[Syntosi]

Guess he is doing a shit job then since he has alienated USA's allies and made its enemies really, really happy.

[DrPepper12]

Yeah his own words DEFINITELY show he treats our allies better than our rivals. JFC 🙄

[Anonymous]

Childhood obsessions leading him to be an insecure adult seeking aggressive attention.

[SmokinAces2000]

They are initiating him into the dictators of the world club

[DrPepper12]

Well he's a felonious bigoted misogynistic rapist so He's off to a good start!!

[ProbablyClueless]

Because that's who he had to deal with. There are many times in life where you don't get a say in who you have to deal with. All you can do is make the best of the situation.

[Syntosi]

Generally speaking you are supposed to work more with your allies than your enemies. You only really deal directly with your enemies in times of near or actual conflict where as you continuously cooperate and further the objectives with your allies.

[RedInnocent69]

He doesn’t believe in his own country’s constitution and looks up to those dictators

[Cyrus000]

I don't think he allied with them. He just wants the wars to end. There is no way Ukraine is winning the war. If Europe gets involved and pushes too hard, nukes will be used. No one wants that.

[Shiprex]

Because he wants to be one

[beefcakebradybatson]

Birds of a feather...

[Dargil]

When did he do that?
