Trump reminds me of ... Gulnara Karimova. Check it out. Except his corruption is backed by the armed forces, the DOJ, the IRS, his corrupt judges in SCOTUS, and he can tax the country to pay for it all. Now he takes over and plunders entire countries.

Before her dramatic fall from grace, Karimova used her immense political power to seize businesses across Uzbekistan. A prominent, widely reported example of this pattern occurred when she visited a newly opened, high-end restaurant in the capital city of Tashkent. According to investigative accounts and local reports documented by media outlets like The New Yorker and The Washington Post, Karimova liked the venue so much that she effectively forced the owner to hand over the business to her. The next day, the original owner was barred from entering their own establishment.
Context of the Seizures
This incident was part of a broader corporate raiding pattern rather than an isolated theft:The "Office" Syndicate: Swiss and Uzbek prosecutors revealed that Karimova operated a highly organized criminal syndicate nicknamed "The Office".
Systemic Extortion:
She routinely targeted profitable local businesses—including retail stores, television channels, and restaurants—forcing owners to surrender their equity or face manufactured tax audits and state harassment.
Telecom Bribery:
Her corporate raiding extended to massive international corporations, where she extorted close to $1 billion in bribes from foreign
