Why does President Donald Trump praise authoritarian leaders, like North Korea's Kim Jong Un, while showing contempt for traditional U.S. allies, like Canada? "Donald Trump values power," The Atlantic's Ashley Parker told Washington Week moderator Jeffrey Goldberg. "He is a bully on the world stage, and it's sort of a 'game respects game.' He likes these strong men. He likes the control that a dictator has over his or her country."
