His name notwithstanding, Sisi is Trump’s kind of guy: a strong man terrorist fighter. Of course, he has no idea how to run his country, and he has been far more successful at muzzling democratic dissenters than at killing terrorists, but for Trump, those are just details.
Down the road, the real question is, what happens when the Egyptians get sick of Sisi? How does Trump react when masses of people start going out on the streets again? Is he going to send American troops to shoot them down? Will the US and Russia work together to suppress democratic forces throughout the Middle East on the grounds that ostensibly democratic movements inevitably lead to chaos and terrorism?
Don’t be surprised if it happens.
