The Internet Archive plans to create a backup of its data in Canada in response to the election of Donald Trump as President of the United States:
The Internet Archive, a nonprofit that saves copies of old web pages, is creating a backup of its database in Canada, in response to the election of Donald Trump. "On November 9th in America, we woke up to a new administration promising radical change," the organization wrote in a blogpost explaining the move. "It was a firm reminder that institutions like ours, built for the long-term, need to design for change."
[...] The move will cost millions, according to the Internet Archive, which is soliciting donations. In their post, the Internet Archive justified its decision to backup its data in Canada, claiming that Trump could threaten an open internet. "For us, it means keeping our cultural materials safe, private and perpetually accessible. It means preparing for a Web that may face greater restrictions."

You're contradicting yourself... on one hand you're saying believe what he says, but on another you're not acting (by your online posts) what you're preaching.
Go read his book "The Art of the Deal". He is a businessman, he mentions that the best way to negotiate is to open high so you can then negotiate down. This means he will always start with an extreme statement so when you get down to negotiating with folks on the other side, you got room to move. You start from a position of strength.
.. so you claim that one should believe what the autocrat says.. do you believe what he says in his own book about how he behaves?
