Trump is welcome to admire whoever he wants. He has his role models. And the rest of us, those not blinded by the Trump light, are entitled to our misgivings about who Trump speaks highly about.
I wish that anti Trumps would read the bible and notice similar remarks in there about evil figures, not bothering to trace the narrative to the end which is their doom.
Trump probably sent Putin an autographed picture of himself for good measure.
Frankly, like Trump, I have wondered how this guy was able to take over and stay in power.
I wonder why the Generals and such did not depose him and go in a different direction.
You were the one who was unconcerned with the idleness and welfare toll to the country by lusting after the cheap plastic foreign junk. Hey as long as it does not arrive in YOUR comfy little neighborhood the hole in the other end of the boat is just dandy!
LOL...Trump made him buy it!
So, you care to reconsider your analogy about Cruz being a prostitute or are you still stinging from your faux pas?
As in all puzzling human situations, I’d look for the spiritual side.
I’d think it inevitable to find the demonic there. A sane people doesn’t just cower for this sort of thing forever without at least TRYING to rebel.
Trump seems to have at least a vague idea that the Judeo-Christian dynamic is what has made the greater aspect of America go, even if gospel to him is no more personally familiar than goose feathers. Respect for the Lord can take a lot of forms.
Anita Dunn: "The third lesson and tip actually comes from two of my favorite political philosophers, Mao Tse Tung and Mother Teresa. Not often coupled with each other, but the two people that I turn to most to basically deliver a simple point, which is: You're going to make choices. ... But here's the deal: These are your choices; they are no one else's.
"In 1947, when Mao Tse Tung was being challenged within his own party on his own plan to basically take China over, Chiang Kai-Shek and the nationalist Chinese held the cities, they had the army. ... They had everything on their side. And people said 'How can you win? How can you do this against all of the odds against you?'
"And Mao Tse Tung says, 'You fight your war and I'll fight mine.' You don't have to accept the definition of how to do things. ... You fight your war, you let them fight theirs. Everybody has their own path."..."

Policies implemented under Mao Tse Tung, including the civil war, the Great Leap Forward, the Cultural Revolution, and persecution in Tibet, among other policies, led to death of an estimated 65 million people, according to The Black Book of Communism (Harvard University Press), which is considered by scholars as one of the best sources on communist atrocities.
Mao also outlawed religion and sent at least 2.5 million people to "re-education camps," called "laogai," which were similar to the slave-labor camps in the Gulag of the Soviet Union. An estimated 1,000 laogai reportedly are still in operation today

Republican US presidential front-runner Donald Trump is apparently "honored" that Russian President Vladimir Putin considers the real-estate magnate a "flamboyant" and "very talented" man.
"It is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond," Trump said in a statement, according to Politico.
He continued: "I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect."

RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil -- Russia's push into Ukraine has put many on edge. But less known is that Russia is also strengthening its military links south of the Rio Grande and re-establishing itself as a power in the region.
Vladimir Putin has been strengthening military links here, and Russia is now the largest arms dealer to governments in Latin America, surpassing the United States.
Russia has even floated the possibility of building new military bases in Cuba, Venezuela and Nicaragua, and putting its warships permanently in the Caribbean.
In the midst of the Ukraine crisis, Russia's top diplomat Sergei Lavrov recently visited Cuba, Peru, Chile, and Nicaragua, where he announced that Russia would also pour money into the new Central American canal project. ..."

Russia agreed to provide military training for three leftist regimes in Latin America and increase military visits and exercises following a visit last week to the region by Moscow's Defense Minister Sergei Shoygu, Pentagon officials said.
Shoygu met with defense and military leaders in Cuba, Venezuela, and Nicaragua and signed several agreements on warship visits and military training during the visit, which ran from Feb. 11 to 14. It is not clear whether any new arms deals were completed during the visit.
Defense officials said the Russian leader is seeking bases in the region for strategic bomber flights that Shoygu recently promised would include flights over the Gulf of Mexico and Caribbean.

And?
The two sides [Democratic People's Republic of Korea and Russia] agreed to "promote and enhance friendly relations" in line with the joint declaration of July 19, 2000 and the Russia-DPRK friendship and good neighborly cooperation treaty of February 9, 2000.
Putin and Kim agreed during their talks to promote a Russian- DPRK political dialogue on the Korean issue and international affairs, and discussed many topical international problems, deputy head of the Russian presidential administration Sergei Prikhodko told reporters following the talks.
The two leaders spoke for an independent and peaceful solution to the issue of reunification of the Korean Peninsula, and against "any outside obstacles to this process" as "unacceptable."

So whaddya think? Will Trump go all Kim Jong Un on those idlers and welfare parasites you're so obsessed over? Solve your problem and put your fears to bed.
The PC crowd hangs on his every word, trying to make a PC issue of something. They should GET OVER IT!!! We supporters of his don’t give a DAMN about PC and the louder these gurlie men scream, the better Trump looks!!!!!
The US presidential hopeful Donald Trump has praised North Korea's despotic leader Kim Jong-un, saying the way he executes his political opponents shows "he's the boss".
Speaking at a Republican rally in Iowa on Saturday, Trump was met with a silent protest as he repeated his now-familiar assertion that Muslims shouldn't be allowed to enter the US.
But while he continues to denigrate whole swathes of the population for following a religion, the billionaire reserved some praise for North Korea's dictator.
After coming to power when he was 28, Kim cemented his rule through a series of purges, including the execution of his uncle Jang Song Thaek.
"You've got to give him credit," Trump said. "How many young guys - he was like 26 or 25 when his father died - take over these tough generals, and all of a sudden - you know, it's pretty amazing when you think of it. How does he do that?
"Even though it is a culture, and it's a cultural thing, he goes in, he takes over, he's the boss. It's incredible.
"He wiped out the uncle, he wiped out this one, that one. This guy doesn't play games and we can't play games with him. Because he really does have missiles and he really does have nukes."
Trump was speaking after it emerged North Korea has carried out new nuclear weapons tests, which the hermit kingdom claimed involved its first hydrogen bomb. ..."
I haven’t read the thread but I’ll bet there are posts here explaining to idiots like me who are too unsophisticated to understand why this is a brilliant ploy by Trump.
Are you THAT dumb I need to explain it to you?
Trump needs to learn that he does not need to talk about everything. I appreciate that he is not a “talking point” person, but I also don’t appreciate that he feels the need to talk about everything. There are times where he would be better off just not saying anything or if he does not know or is not sure the wise move is to not spout off.
This concerns me about him. He is obviously a smart guy and a capable executive, but there are times where he blah blah blahs himself into saying something stupid.
I have listened to this several times and I still don’t know what to think other than “what the hell???”
Another possibility is that the Kim Jong Un royalty is quietly getting more and more nominal. That even Pyongyang (and I have heard reports to this effect) is finally finding itself unable to resist the allure of capitalism, as cramped as it still is. That the Dear Leader may in fact be getting more and more ignored, though nobody dares yet to flout him. “Building around the problem” is one historical way of dealing with such leadership evils. And in their little bubbles, the leadership never realizes it is getting irrelevant until one day the people step up and say hey you. You are now obsolete.
Feel free to expose more folly (of your own, of course)
