23 November 2016, Nirapad News: Turkey’s president has maintained that many in the U.S. and Europe are calling U.S. President-elect Donald Trump a “dictator” because he wasn’t their favored candidate.
Addressing a meeting of the Organization for Islamic Cooperation on Wednesday, Recep Tayyip Erdogan accused anti-Trump protesters in Western nations of not respecting democracy or the result of the U.S. election.
Erdogan said: “In America they started calling Trump a dictator. In various countries of the Europe they spilled into the streets and started saying ‘dictator.’ Why aren’t you respecting the results of the ballot box?”
The Turkish president also suggested that any leader that doesn’t serve the West’s interests is denounced as a despot.
He said: “Are they calling someone a dictator? Then you should think the opposite. That person is good.”
It’s like rain on your wedding day.
The world turned upside down: an Islamist dictator which pretensions to being Sultan of a new Ottoman Empire shows more regard for the electoral process than the Democratic Party and its ilk.
No Hillary e-mail investigations
No investigation of illegalities by Clinton foundation,
Reduced pursuit of illegal aliens now numbering somewhere between 11 million and 40 million and growing,
Reduced ejection of criminal illegal aliens
No disentanglement from Trump businesses
Allows China to step in on trade where US backs away
Still no tax returns,
I regret my vote already.
I think he is actually in a way trying to talk to the people of Turkey calling him a dictator. That he won his election in the ballot box. That he is using the US election to try and make a point in his own country... Anyway, the people of Turkey should NOT trust this guy. He is becoming a dictator.
The Left says that Obama and Hillary were right to have Gaddafi killed, because he was a dictator.
They opposed this end for Saddam Hussein (who was executed after a court trial by the people of his nation), Fidel Castro, and the leadership of Iran.
I’m sure he thinks that Trump is just sullying the good name of “dictator,” that infidel.
I regret my vote already.

Oh please. I guess you should have voted for Hillary.
I just read an article here on deputizing local police to start the round up of illegals. That knocks out most of your concerns. I am worried about him backing up on the climate change hoax. We shall see.
Ultimately Erdogan is talking about himself, since Euro-progressives hate him almost as much as they hate Trump.
Probably threw one of his temper tantrums. “I’m the dictator, dammit! Me! Trump’s an imposter!”
People were sounding the warning bell loudly here on FR.. but they were censored and ridiculed. I didn’t vote for Trump because I remember his record.. I didn’t vote for hillary either. So, we told you so... Trump is was and has been a liberal and I personally wouldn’t leave him alone w my daughters.. for those reasons, I chose my principles. Trump is gop e.. Cruz was a flat taxer.. wonder why trump n hillary n kascich ran him out. Dt has and will continue to be who he always has been, since his first run for nom in 2000.. records matter, statements matter.. all ignored.
Hillary was invited to his wedding.. and he should bring her to justice? Makes ya wonder why he really will not.. pizza?
Do us a favor and go away. Trump isn’t even in office for almost two months. Go join DU. I am sure they will love your negative attitude toward Trump.
Take a hike!
