Excellent description of 'strongmen'. You are correct, they are 'strong' only in their own view of themselves and others exactly like them. As seen in trump's rant about how Orban respects and loves him. In actuality they are mentally and honorably weak men, who fear any chink in their self made armor.

Agree. Virtually all of these so called strongmen (Stalin, Pinochet, Ceausescu, Orban, Mussolini, tRump etc) are cookie-cutter sociopaths. They are a dangerous combination of a grandiose self image and no conscience.
