凭借仇外言论和对俄罗斯总统普京等独裁者（一位欺压甚至入侵其邻国的煽动者）的喜爱，特朗普成为“退出”心态的卓越代表：夸张、恶意、华而不实并对敌视或违抗者充满敌意（不管对方是他严厉指责并试图打压的媒体，还是审理其诉讼的法官都是这样 ） 。
With his xenophobic rhetoric and fondness for despots like Russian President Vladimir Putin (a demagogue who bullies the neighbors he doesn’t invade), Trump epitomizes the “out” mindset: hyperbolic, malicious, pompous, and hostile to all who defy or disagree with him (be it the press, which he berates and tries to block, or judges who preside over his lawsuits).
