Bob Dole heaped praise on President Trump for what he described as the restoration of "strong American leadership" put on display during his trip to Europe over the past few days.
Calling it a "successful trip" overall, Dole, a former Republican senator from Kansas who ran unsuccessfully for president in 1996, singled out Trump's speech in Warsaw, Poland, as being particularly important. In a statement Saturday, Dole described the speech from Wednesday as "one for the ages, a vital, eloquent, and stirring articulation of the values and shared goals that bind us together with the Polish people, and with millions of others around the world who seek to live in freedom."
Trump received a warm welcome in Poland, which stands in contrast to the massive protests that awaited him later in the week at the G-20 summit in Germany. In his speech Trump not only addressed NATO, of which Poland is a part, and Russia, but also spoke about defending western civilization.
"We cannot mistake the significance of Poland and the great Polish people in the history of the struggle for human liberty," Dole said. "The message was desperately needed at this time from our American president and we are grateful for it and for the manner in which he delivered it."
At the G-20 summit in Hamburg, Dole complimented Trump for completing a "number of critically important strategic meetings." The U.S. president had his first one-on-one meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, who has been tied to interference in the 2016 election, as well as meetings with Chinese President Xi Jinping and United Kingdom Prime Minister Theresa May, among others.
"Americans should be proud of the strong American leadership being restored by President Trump," Dole said. "More importantly," he added, "they should be proud to live in a country that stands for the values he has so ably expressed, shared, and defended."

There are people here that are obsessed with attacking allies, more so than attacking our enemies. The African Marxist Muslim, the Clinton criminals, and the Muslims continue to have their supporters and are seemingly ignored as the enemies of American patriots.
Thank you for posting the real enemy of American Patriots.
Maybe not, but you referred to him as climbing out of the swamp? Perhaps that is not a pejorative remark. If not, then I stand corrected.
He was an establishment Republican and he’s certainly married to one. He’s in my perception gone out on a limb and rejected his own crowd in supporting Trump.
Maybe next time you’d be better served reading the entire reply before popping off a misdirected response.
1 TIMOTHY 2:1-2 I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyonefor kings and all those in authority that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness.

absolutely and that we do daily!!!
So, you think he didn’t vote for Trump? My concern is the losing proposition of attacking our allies is precisely what the left wishes. The concept is, divide and conquer. If not used by the old media to influence the last election, Trump would have won the popular vote by millions, maybe ten millions.
I believe Bob was an early supporter of Trump during end of primaries, before it was cool for any in the establishment to do so. So good for him and his continued support.
These protests occur at every G-20 meeting and other like gatherings. The anarchists protest everything good and honorable in Western civilization. They represent evil in our world.
Thank you, Dole. You are a hero...
Not sure if you are ignorant or just stupid, but your comment is one of the most disrespectful comments I've read on FR.
No again, I did not say that. I said he went against his own crowd and quite likely his own wife in supporting Trump. That is what I said. Anything else is your imagination.
Kansas republicans went over 90% for Trump. Dole was in this grouping. What % of republican congress voted for someone other than Trump?
We know Lindsay Graham didn’t because he said so. Do you think John McCain voted for Trump? How about Paul Ryan? Mitch McConnell? Ted Cruz? Let’s narrow it down and you tell me, which Congressional Republicans do you believe actually voted for Trump? I think that’s why that stupid egghead McMuffin from Utah got tossed in there at the last minute.
What is this “misunderstanding” of yours really about, are you offended because I say Bob Dole went against the party establishment by coming out vocally in favor of Trump when practically all the rest of them were nursing their boo-boos?
“Not sure if you are ignorant or just stupid, but your comment is one of the most disrespectful comments I’ve read on FR.”
Oh well since you seem confused let me help you. Why does it have to be either, ignorant or stupid? In my case, I am both, ignorant and stupid.
Which one are you?
“He also attended the inauguration, in wheelchair at the back by the doors. Trump paused to shake his hand, iirc. One of the ex-POTUS, I think, totally ignored him when they departed the area. Or maybe it was just Hillary...”
Thanks for your input.
