        Your comments about him just make him stronger in Turkey. Because the Turkish people are aware of your bad intentions. He is our problem and we'll solve it ourselves as always in the history.

        I didn’t vote him and i will never do. But have to respect him because he is my selected president. But we should not let two-faced Westerns disrespect him. They are not different.

        We have a Caliph! We have a great leader! We have a super idiot with a god hat, and a mike! European kings were not supposed to be leaders of the believers. Popes or patriarchs were different notions, not in politics. Justifying dictatorship with god is what's wrong with Islam.

        You have your model, we have ours, BTW I remember EU rejecting Turkey's application for decades, while you let in all European riff-raffs (the genocidal Serbs, the corrupt Italians, the insolvent Greeks), sure religion did not have a role, right, how about the Crosses on flags?

        Serbia is not in the EU. Greece was not insolvent when it got in the EU, and was accepted only when it became enough of a democracy. Dictatorship and idiotic religions are the rules of the past, all over. Democracy is more advanced. So is secularism. Albania will get in EU BTW...

        That's obvious. I was being sarcastic. It is also obvious that Trump admires authoritarian rulers and if he continues unchecked by Congress or the Courts he'll happily become more and more like Erdogan. How long did it take Turkey to slip from democracy to autocracy?

        there was always an autocracy with erdoğan actually. he is on charge last 16 years as you know and he has been an autocrat since that time(especially last 10 years) he has been raising his autocrat regime year after year.
