* [[Admiring the Abomination]]: Trump has notoriously given praise to several world leaders viewed as controversial at best or outright despots at worst. These include [[Vladimir Putin]] of Russia, [[Rodrigo Duterte]] of the Philippines, Xi Jinping of China, and [[Kim Jong Un]] of North Korea (despite Trump previously throwing some shade at Kim and even threatened "fire and fury" against North Korea on Twitter). He once claimed he admired [[Saddam Hussein]] for executing terrorists, and if [[Michael Wolfe]] is truthful in his book ''[[Landslide]]'', he had to be kept by aides from publicly saying positive things about [[Adolf Hitler]] himself.
* [[And Stay Out!]]: According to the [https://www.thedailybeast.com/lin-wood-and-michael-flynns-qanon-civil-war-keeps-getting-nuttier-and-sleazier December 1, 2021 "Fever Dreams" column/pocast] on ''[[The Daily Beast]]'' news website, Trump -- who was banned by his successor [[Joe Biden]] from receiving traditional post-Presidency intelligence briefings after the January 6, 2021 insurrection attempt -- has begun claiming that he ''wasn't'' banned, he instead actively ''refused'' to accept those briefings:
{{quote|“When we reached out to Donald Trump’s office early this week about the reporting we had, and also the details in this newly revised CIA book,” [Fever Dreams co-host Asawin Suebsaeng] relates, “he tried to convince us that his current lack of post-presidency briefings is all his own decision. It was all by his own design…
“It has incredibly huge ‘You didn’t dump me, I broke up with you first’ energy.”}}
* [[Appeal to Popularity]]: This logical fallacy underlies Trump's frequent claims that an unspecified but large number of unknown and anonymous "people" agree with him or certify his opinions and positions as correct. He seeks to validate his statements by counterfeiting a body of people who allegedly agree with him.
* [[Arch Enemy]]: Has several people who've committed themselves to going against him where the feeling's mutual. No need to list any examples - the list that used to be here was quite [[egregious]].
