Egypt's president is a bloodthirsty dictator. Trump thinks he's done a "fantastic job.

[CousinIT]

Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, the brutal military dictator who overthrew his country’s democratically elected president in a 2013 coup, killed more than 800 protesters in a single day, and has imprisoned tens of thousands of dissidents since he took power, was Trump’s honored guest at the White House on Monday. President Obama steadfastly refused to meet with him over concerns about serious human rights abuses carried out by Sisi’s security forces — including torture, mass detention, and forced disappearances of journalists, aid workers, activists, and students.

... is upping the world's pain and suffering quotient.

4. He overthrew

An extremist religious fundamentalist government that would have turned Egypt into another oppressive religious theocracy and installed a mostly secular government.

Imagine if Ted Cruz were elected president and tried turning this country into a fundamentalist Christian theocracy. I'm pretty sure I would support a revolution as well.
