Myanmar's dictators are far less educated than Trump, and also happen to be extremely superstitious. They also have basically absolute power and can kill or imprison anyone they want without any sort of reason or trial.

Imagine if The Trump Organization (the holding company) had its own army, the generals owned shares in the army's business, and there was no civil society outside of the army. That is Myanmar's situation. I can't understate how tyrannical and corrupt it is.
