Ever notice how Trump always seems happiest in the presence of foreign dictators? The more brutal they are, the happier he is, as long as they at least pretend to be nice to him.

But his current fawning over the man who rules that unfortunate country suggests that for Trump, commitment to human rights is something merely to be deployed or discarded as convenient.
