  1. Kakistocracy (kækɪsˈtɑkɹəsi) is a term meaning a state or country run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens.[1][2]The word was first coined by English author Thomas Love Peacock in 1829, but was rarely used until the 21st century.

    America is poised to have a government run by the worst sorts imaginable.

    Clintoncracy (Clin-ton-cracy) is a term derived in the last couple decades meaning a state or country run by a corrupt political couple and their cronies who steal everything that is not nailed down. The word was first coined during Bill Clinton's early political career, but came to be used widely after the country endured Hillary's candidacy.

    America narrowly escaped a government run by the worst sorts imaginable.

Trump is understand what benefit his family, his business friends. To his supporters they think he like the god. But really he operate so like the dictator with NO RESPECT for law and human rights.
