Former President Donald Trump invoked authoritarian leaders again during a rally Thursday, recalling the vision he laid out for a possible second term.
Trump referred to Russian President Vladimir Putin, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un, Chinese leader Xi Jinping and Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban – authoritarian foreign leaders he has praised several times before – during the campaign stop in the South Bronx.
