Trump Defends "Killer" Putin: "We've Got A Lot Of Killers - You Think Our Country's Innocent?"
Zero Hedge ^ | 02/05/17 | Tyler Durden

Posted on 02/05/2017 7:00:25 AM PST by Enlightened1

In a Fox News interview set to air at 4pm on Sunday, just ahead of the Superbowl, and which is sure to unleash a fresh firestorm of accusations that president Trump is a Kremlin puppet, the US president will defend Vladimir Putin on national TV, saying he respects the Russian leader and accusing the US of not being as innocent as it may seem.
 
In the interview, Bill O’Reilly asked if Trump respects Russian President Vladimir Putin, to which the he replied, “I do respect him. Well, I respect a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean I’ll get along with them.”
 
After O’Reilly asks why, Trump answers: "He is the leader of his country. I say it’s better to get along with Russia than not, and if Russia helps us in the fight against ISIS – which is a major fight – and the Islamic terrorism all over the world, that’s a good thing. Will I get along with him? I have no idea.”
 
O'Reilly pressed Trump on his statement, saying, "But he's a killer though. Putin's a killer."
 
Trump shrugged the comment off, saying: “There are a lot of killers. We’ve got a lot of killers. What, do you think our country is so innocent?”

“People need to hear truth”

I’ll ask you the same question...what issue did Trump speak truth to?

“If you are so afraid to have a fighter with eyes wide open willing to be on offense to wake up our nation’s good but sleeping people, then go put your blanket over your head and stay there for a few years til your feelings feel better.”

What are YOU afraid of? Having to admit Trump screwed up!

It was a bad answer, plain and simple....grow up, this isn’t a video game.

oh, boy, someone’s a worry wart, off the deep end. Now you are pretending you know how others will perceive things and how the MSM will twist Trumps words, but you don’t want anyone to think you are a troll etc.

LOL

Your mind seems to be your enemy.

He spoke truth that we have many in this nation that have or do kill.

why would you think of video games? play them much? is that why your so fear filled?

Trump only screwed up to those wishing to perceive it as such.

All thru his candidacy he said things in parts, it baited the MSM etc and then Trump was found to be correct. He is correct yet again. We have killers in our nation every day every moment. Evil will always be in this world and our nation is no exception. It’s truth. simple plain truth.

‘Wonder if he had the Clintons in mind.’

It took all of two posts for someone to express my exact thought. I’d put Obama in there too, though. He’s just as guilty as Hillary of ignoring the Benghazi pleas for help for nine hours. Had either one of them acted, the odds that three of the four lives could have been saved are overwhelming.

TRUMP CLAIMS (FALSELY) THAT WE HAVE KILLERS IN THE UNITED STATES! NO EVIDENCE!

Hillary Clinton, Janet Reno, Weasely Clark, Bill Clinton, Barack Obama, black Chicago gangbangers, Planned Parenthood..etc etc etc.

“Now you are pretending you know how others will perceive things and how the MSM will twist Trumps words”

It takes exactly an ounce of intelligence to predict what the MSM will do with his words. And NO, I’m not a troll, I just have enough common sense to see when Trump makes a mistake...and YES he does make mistakes...not everything that comes out of his mouth is 3 dimensional chess.

The sooner you realize that the sooner you will be able to handle the setbacks... it’s been a great 2 weeks so far, but their will be setbacks, so buckle up snowflake!

They evidently forgot about Obama bragging repeatedly about all the people he killed. “I’m quite good at it”.

And they forgot about the half million Syrians dead because Obama hired Al Qaeda to do his dirty work there. Not to mention genocide committed against non-muslims by his proxies.

Add to that how many Libyans, what, a couple hundred thousand dead there? Add to that another couple hundred thousand in Iraq because he turned it over to ISIS, well armed with US weaponry, better armed than just about any army in the world...

We may be talking about a million dead. To accomplish, what?

The only problem I have with his answer is that he did not give an example, or two for clarification.

Facts are his answer was indisputable, but it should have gone a little further.

It wasn’t a bad answer if it gave a case of the jitters to Hillary, Bill or some of the other dirty dealers in DC. If the media misconstrues, Trump will slap them down himself. Meanwhile he may have—and likely did—fire a shot across the bow of some of these DC insiders who have literally gotten away with murder. How can Hillary possibly know Trump wasn’t talking specifically about her?

I see a double scotch neat in Hillary’s future...several of them, in fact.

Given that Jason Chaffetz is putting his foot on the gas pedal, I’m thinking she’s drinking straight out of the bottle!

Seriously. Let’s remember that when we were almost alone heavily discussing Obama’s lack of documentation, many years ago, Donald Trump was saying the same thing out in society. No one on the radio mentioned it except Sean Hannity. Trump’s always had a set o gonads. And I wouldn’t be stunned if he’s been reading FR all these years.

I guess he could have given a more politically correct answer but quite frankly I like Trumps unfiltered responses. It’s why he got elected.

And Obama signed an order permitting the killing of Americans, which I thought was unjust. Americans are entitled to a trial in a court of law. I remember one (Naturalized American, I suspect) guy who returned to the middle east and was a jihadist, got killed (bombed) and his American teenage son with him at some hotspot in the middle east.

Well all the people being murdered on a daily basis in places like Detroit, Chicago, are not murdered by killers? How can you say there is no evidence of killers in the United States. People get killed over tennis shoes (Nikes).

Get over it. His truthfulness is refreshing. He’s not a lying, double-talking politician.

You are alone on FR in your opinion of deep CONCERN. Most here have no problem with Trump’s response - myself included.
