The Guardian website published a note titled "Donald Trump, Authoritarianism and His Similarities with Iran's Ahmadinejad."Below is a fluent translation of this article:As Donald Trump nears a return to power in the United States, analysts are comparing him to authoritarian figures, including former Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad (2005-2013).Both are known for their populist slogans, contempt for democratic institutions, and reliance on loyal supporters. Trump and Ahmadinejad use controversial language to call critics enemies and portray themselves as representatives of ordinary people. Both have benefited from public discontent, with Ahmadinejad winning support with economic promises such as cash distributions and Trump with the slogan "Make America Great Again," though critics see these promises as hollow and in their own interest.In foreign policy, Ahmadinejad isolated Iran with his anti-Western stance, and Trump weakened relations with allies with his "America First" policy. Despite the similarities, there are differences: Ahmadinejad operated under the Supreme Leader's supervision under Iran's political system, but Trump faces legal restrictions in a liberal democracy.Some see the comparison as simplistic, but others see it as a warning for the future of American democracy, asking: Is Trump just controversial or a sign of authoritarianism?Link to the original article: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/30/donald-trump-authoritarianism-iran-ahmadinejad Take less than a minute, register and share your opinion under this post.Insulting or inciting messages will be deleted.Sign UpComming Up Next Large-scale U.S. airstrikes against Yemen continueخواندن 1 minute CCTV footage shows two nurses at a hospital in the Chinese city of Ruili who did not abandon the babies when the earthquake struck on Friday.خواندن 1 minute Trump in an interview with NBC: Talks are underway between U.S. and Iranian officials.خواندن 1 minute The rumor of an assassination attempt on Putin turned out to be a lie/ What was the truth of the story?خواندن 1 minute Jolani announces new cabinetخواندن 1 minuteMost ReadMemories of Akbar Hashemi - February 20, 2000 - Meeting with Abdullah Jasbi and Concerns About Election ResultsMovie / Where is Commander Morteza Talaie?Akbar Hashemi's memoirs - 1999 September 10 - The two-person political negotiations with Vaez Tabasi continued until he was escorted to Tehran, where Hashemi apparently decided to seriously participate in the sixth parliamentary elections.The records of the recent periods of the Islamic Council showed that the parliament is not in charge of affairs and cannot interfere or pass resolutions on the authority of the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces at any level, let alone supervise.What will be the future of Iran with the announced candidates for the presidential election? / Conversation with Dr. Taghi Azad AramakiCan I feel tired with you?A Basiji veterinarian was appointed head of the health network instead of an otolaryngologist.Akbar Hashemi's memoirs - 1999 September 5 - The meeting of the senior managers of the judiciary with Hashemi Rafsanjani and their complaint about the neglect of Hashemi Shahroudi, the new head of the judiciary, continues.Memories of Akbar Hashemi - 1999 September 7 - In continuation of the efforts of the late Vaez Tabasi, who used to encourage Hashemi to participate in the elections in frequent meetings, this time he also met with Hashemi.Akbar Hashemi's memories - 1999 September 9 - Continued visits to the belongings, buildings and works of Astan Quds
