WHO AM I?
 
I used my image as a father figure 
I extinguished dissent 
I used organized programs to keep everyone occupied 
I make certain that children are kept as ignorant as possible
I gathered the people into frequent rallies
I  use one group of people as a focus of blame for all social problems
I believe that having too much money is a real problem for people
I make sure that my people are kept as impoverished and disadvantaged as practically possible. Such poverty  helps to keep my people more dependent on me, more docile, and more pliable. 
I use a propaganda program through schools and the media 
I installed "spies" within these ranks of  people. They are taught to distrust each other and to only trust me.
I was Time Magazine's person of the year

Although his oratory skills and personal traits were generally received well by large crowds and at official events, some who had met Him privately noted that his appearance and demeanor failed to make a lasting impression. He promised to strengthen the economy, and provide jobs.
