Nasser Kandil wrote: They resemble each other so much

  • It seems that the Presidents Donald Trump and Recep Erdogan resemble each other so much in the situation which they confront, and in the characteristics of their behaviors.
  • Each one of them is facing a big internal problem, they hardly end one issue until there are new ones, till they become talking about a conspiracy that targets each one of them.
  • According to the two Presidents the crisis with the judiciary is complicated; it cannot be resolved without structural changes, as having control on the courts.
  • The media is a common goal for the two presidents.
  • The two Presidents represent conceited racist arrogance.
  • Each one of them wants to practice the real policy which drives his country and his rule away from further involvement in wars that their similarities have ended with failure, but at the same time each one of them wants to keep his arrogant tone that only brings more tension and puts him in front of challenges that are close to become wars.
  • The ethnic and the religious minorities in the two countries suffer from the two presidents and their policies.
  • The civil community is worried about confining the freedoms in the two countries.
  • Both of them is worried from Iran and the inability to confront it as well as the desire to cooperate with Russia and the concerns about its cost, at the same time hoping to have a role in Syria.
