    He’s a smarmy fuck, but when he feels like he’s on the popular side he digs in.

      This is the case with most leaders who condemned Israel. Jordan has a dictator who has left Jordanians to live under crushing poverty, Erdoğan kills Kurds wherever he can, Sisi is a military dictator who won Egypt with a coup, etc etc

        Not what I was implying, just that I think this guy is an incredible prick who’d step over his own mother to be seen as a popular guy in the papers.

        He is nothing close to a tyrannical leader, just a prick
