I think a regime that is hell-bent on kidnapping foreign leaders at the whim of it's glorious leader by circumventing any of it's checks and balances, such as congress approval, is clearly and by far the worst problem.

And calling the US under the Trump administration "democratic" is a hell of a stretch, even as a thought experiment.
