Americans want America to be great.
Trump supporters want to Make Authoritarianism Great Again—thus MaGA. They'll get the capital "A" back when they wake up from their selection ignorance and purposeful delusion.
They call it, "Make america Great Again" but in reality, their actions, those they support, it all screams, "Make Authoritarianism Great Again"!
If only they’d wake up & realize how deeply they’ve been manipulated, we might finally end the nightmare they helped spawn—with a little help from 1st Putin, then Trump.
Here's a refined list of national leaders who actively aided MaGA’s rise, especially through disinformation, influence operations, or ideological groundwork, even before the MaGA slogan existed.
These are not just ideological allies—they helped build the environment that MaGA exploited.
1. Vladimir Putin – Russia (President, international war criminal)
-
How he aided MaGA:
-
Ran coordinated disinformation campaigns (e.g., 2014–2016 IRA operations) targeting U.S. social divisions.
-
Backed Trump’s candidacy via cyberattacks, fake news amplification, and social media ops.
-
Promoted anti-democratic, anti-liberal narratives globally before MaGA existed.
-
-
Why it matters: Putin didn't just love MaGA—he helped invent the toolbox MaGA would use: race-baiting, anti-elite framing, and media distrust.

2. Viktor Orbán – Hungary
-
How he aided MaGA:
-
Pioneered modern "illiberal democracy" starting in 2010, showing how to dismantle checks and balances while staying nominally democratic.
-
Funded right-wing think tanks and partnered with U.S. conservatives to spread anti-immigrant, anti-globalist narratives.
-
Served as a test case for MaGA authoritarianism—Trumpworld took notes.
-
-
Why it matters: Orbán was the proving ground for post-truth nationalism and media capture.
3. Xi Jinping – China
-
How he aided MaGA (indirectly, but powerfully):
-
China’s growing influence and assertiveness were used as a MaGA fear lever ("They're beating us!")
-
Covert influence operations (e.g., digital censorship exports, manipulation of TikTok algorithms) may have amplified division, even if not directly pro-Trump.
-
Trump leveraged anti-China sentiment to justify trade wars and nationalist rhetoric.
-
-
Why it matters: MaGA weaponized China’s rise—and China benefited by destabilizing Western unity.
4. Benjamin Netanyahu – Israel
-
How he aided MaGA:
-
Helped normalize Trump on the world stage and gave political cover to U.S. evangelicals embracing Christian nationalism.
-
Leveraged his U.S. political connections to boost Trump’s credibility with conservatives.
-
Shared intelligence, helped coordinate pressure on Iran, and bolstered a perception of Trump as a “world leader.”
-
-
Why it matters: Netanyahu’s support legitimized Trump geopolitically and strengthened ties between right-wing global actors.
Running his own MiGA (Make isrrael Great Again), fascist campaign.
5. Mohammed bin Salman (MbS) – Saudi Arabia
-
How he aided MaGA:
-
Became Trump’s close partner in the Middle East.
-
Funneled billions into U.S. tech and defense deals that MaGA used to claim “success.”
-
Facilitated influence-buying via Kushner’s post-White House windfall and possible campaign-friendly dark money.
-
-
Why it matters: MaGA's fusion of corporate wealth, oil politics, and autocracy owes a lot to this alliance.
Honorable Mention: Kim Jong-un – North Korea
Clearly, Donald Trump is enraptured by the kind of unchecked power Kim Jong-un wields—and he's doing everything he can to bring that model here.
How he loved MaGA:
-
Trump elevated Kim on the world stage, giving him unprecedented legitimacy via summit meetings.
-
Trump praised Kim repeatedly (“we fell in love”), ignoring human rights abuses.
-
North Korean propaganda used Trump’s praise to boost domestic control, portraying him as a conquered Western leader.
-
-
How he aided MaGA:
-
Not directly involved in U.S. disinformation or election meddling.
-
However, his role as Trump’s “tamed tyrant” helped MaGA project an image of Trump as a global dealmaker and “strongman whisperer.”
-
His presence in MaGA world allowed Trump to recast brutal dictatorship as admirable strength, softening U.S. public perception of authoritarianism.
-
Why he’s not in the top 5:
-
He didn’t help build MaGA or weaponize U.S. information space like Putin, Orbán, or even China’s indirect actions.
-
But Kim was a prop Trump used to validate authoritarian flirtation—and he embraced it gleefully.
Kim Jong-un is light years beyond MaGA—in the sense that the form of authoritarianism he practices in North Korea is not merely aspirational or flirted with (as in MaGA), but fully realized totalitarianism. Here's how:
🔥 1. Total Control of All Information
-
Kim’s regime: There is no free press, no social media, no internet access for the general population. The government controls every word the public hears, sees, or says.
-
MaGA: Trump and MaGA figures attack mainstream media and promote "alternative facts," but the U.S. still has a (battered but functioning) free press, at least for now.
-
Light years beyond: Kim isn’t undermining trust in media—he’s replaced it with 100% state propaganda.
🚫 2. No Political Opposition—Whatsoever
-
Kim’s regime: There are no opposing parties, no dissenters, no elections with real competition. Speaking against the regime is a death sentence—or worse.
-
MaGA: Trump calls political opponents “vermin,” wants to punish journalists and critics, and encourages prosecution of opponents—but there are still courts, elections, and activists.
-
Light years beyond: Kim doesn’t just rig democracy—he abolished it decades ago.
🔪 3. Punishment Extends to Entire Families
-
Kim’s regime: The concept of “guilt by association” means that if you defect or criticize the government, your parents, children, and even grandchildren can be imprisoned or executed.
-
MaGA: Trump's DOJ targeted political enemies, and MaGA harasses families of critics online, but there’s no codified generational punishment.
-
Light years beyond: Kim weaponized fear at a familial and generational level.
🏛️ 4. A Cult of Personality to the Level of Deification
-
Kim’s regime: Schoolchildren are taught that Kim can control the weather, doesn’t defecate, and is essentially godlike. Statues of him and his ancestors are required in homes.
-
MaGA: Trump supporters treat him like a messiah or infallible leader, but the mythology hasn’t reached literal divinity... yet.
-
Light years beyond: Trump wants that level of worship. Kim has it—by law.
💣 5. Isolation, Surveillance, and Starvation as Tools of Statecraft
-
Kim’s regime: North Korea operates as a prison state. People are tracked, spied on, and sometimes starved to maintain compliance.
-
MaGA: Promotes surveillance and punishment of dissenters, but within a system that still faces internal resistance.
-
Light years beyond: Kim doesn’t worry about backlash—he’s already crushed it.
🧪 Final Take:
Trump’s MaGA flirts with authoritarianism and fantasizes about unchecked power. Kim Jong-un lives it—executing it with total efficiency and brutality. MaGA wants to dismantle democracy. Kim already did. That’s why he’s not just a MaGA ally—he’s a blueprint for what MaGA could become in its final form, if all safeguards fail.
In the end, Donald Trump’s admiration for authoritarian leaders isn’t just rhetorical—it’s aspirational. Figures like Vladimir Putin and Viktor Orbán didn’t just cheer him on; they laid the ideological and strategic groundwork that MAGA eagerly absorbed, from disinformation tactics to institutional dismantling.
Leaders like Netanyahu and Mohammed bin Salman provided legitimacy and financial entanglements, while Kim Jong-un offered Trump a glimpse of absolute power—the kind that crushes dissent, controls truth, and elevates a man into myth.
Trump doesn’t just envy these leaders; he wants to replicate their grip on power here in America. The threat isn’t that Trump likes strongmen—it’s that he wants to be one. And if enough Americans remain mesmerized by the spectacle, he just might get his chance.
