Former President Donald Trump did not hold back his praises to some of the world's authoritarian leaders in a new media appearance. In his interview with Fox News host Tucker Carlson, Trump shared his admiration for the leadership styles of Chinese President Xi Jinping, Russian President Vladimir Putin and North Korean leader Kim Jong-Un.
"They're all top of the line," Trump said.
The former president described Xi as a "brilliant man" and recalled meeting with him in his Mar-a-Lago residence in Florida in 2017.
"President Xi is a brilliant man... The look, the brain, the whole thing. We had a great relationship," Trump said.
"You know, when he first came to Mar-a-Lago, it was so organized by them and by us, but by them very pom, pom, pom," he added.
Trump also shared that his meeting with the Chinese leader was supposed to take 15 minutes, but it lasted four hours, saying, "We got along so well."
The former president also praised Kim for being a "top of the line" and "very tough" leader.
"People ask how smart is Kim Jong Un? Kim Jong Un is smart too," Trump said.
He also gushed about Kim's "total dominate control" of North Korea.
Trump met the North Korean leader thrice during his time as president.

Actually China has about 1.4 billion people. It may now be the second-most-populous country (India may have recently passed it).
If Trump was beaten by an imbecile who stole his job, what does that make Trump?
Instead of diplomacy and talking to leaders of these countries, we need to attack them and start more wars. If not more wars, we need to go in an destabilize these countries so we can go in an occupy them.
Don’t be fooled by this misleading headline. Trump is stating a fact that these are intelligent men. He did not say they were good people by any means. He even stated that Bernie Sanders still had it together and was very intelligent. None of this means he agrees with their policies. Hell, Hitler and Stalin were both brilliant and I despise just about everything they ever did.
Hitler ran rings around Chamberlain and Daladier with his pact with Stalin, some real “Thinking outside the box”.
Trump tried to play fair, while Biden openly boasted of having "The Biggest Fraud Team" and did the usual dem thing. Keeping Ronna McDaniel as RNC Chair is repeating the same mistake as before, and invites the dems to continue and increase their fraud.
I blame Trump's inexperience in politics, while Biden has been a dirty politician for over half a century.
True. What is strange is that a paranoid person such as Stalin actually trusted Hitler and even ignored and threatened his own intelligence services after they warned him of the impending invasion.
Both thought that it would work out for them.
Hitler thought Britain and France would back down once they heard about the deal with Russia.
Stalin thought that it would unleash war in the west where the armies would bleed each other dry, allowing the Red Army to swoop in. He didn’t count on France falling so quickly.
Take a hike
“Stalin thought that it would unleash war in the west where the armies would bleed each other dry, allowing the Red Army to swoop in. He didn’t count on France falling so quickly.”
When I worry about our country completely falling to the ongoing leftist revolution, I remind myself of the despair so many felt when France fell so quickly. We can still win but we need to find a way to give the Left their Stalingrad.
Tucker specifically asked, "How smart is Xi?" Trump gave his honest opinion. That's it. Trump was not praising authoritarian governments, and it is a lie to pretend otherwise.
Yeah. Because when meeting our enemies you should insult them right before negotiations.
Now do Castro, Turdeau, Marx, Mao, Ho Chi Minh, and the parade of USSR Premiers...
People simply cannot grasp Trump. It’s sad to see, but they
simply do not have the interest or the brain cells needed to
grasp what is going on.
Trump is going to be president again. Then guess who he is
going to have to make deals with. Can any of these fools
take a guess? Even accurately?
Trump is allowing these leaders to think he is not their
enemy. He’ll be negotiating world class problems with them
in short order.
The Left created a situation where Trump couldn’t talk to
Putin for his full term in office. No, it would have been
proof positive he was in cahoots with him. Our nation
lost out big on that situation brought to us by the Left
and the globalists.
I’m sure they’ll try again.
It worked for Reagan.
Xi is brilliant and has been playing the US - and the world - like a fiddle.
Trump criticizing Germany for the pipeline to Russia and how that would make them dependent on Russia and give them money was supposedly proof he was doing Putin’s bidding per the media...because he was “criticizing an ally.”
It is. He acknowledged that they are intelligent and cunning as compared to Biden who is a moron.
Joe Biden didn’t run against Donald Trump. The DNC criminal campaign rigged the system for Joe Biden. Joe spent the campaign in his basement bunker sucking his thumb.
