He is really one of those James Bond villains.

The sentence describes his state of mind: He is the best thing for the country, so any resistance, corruption news, and protest cannot come from people of this country. It must be a conspiracy of the west. So, by blocking twitter, he is blocking west's conspiracy. He started believing his own propaganda.

The truth is people who vote for him is mostly poorer Turks, and those people don't care about twitter.

It seems there are a couple of countries with the same problem in their leadership. How the F do these people get into power?

Many of them actually get power-hungry while in power.

Especially the ones who get elected after spending some time in the opposition under not-so-democratic regimes.

Please don't call it leadership, it's dictatorial power.
