Trump Excuses Dictators Who Murder
Frances Langum notes on Crooks & Liars that the current Resident of 1600 has a problem believing ill of despots.
In Trump’s universe Kim Jung-Un was not involved in the death of Otto Warmbier; Mohammad bin Salman didn’t know anything about the assassination of Jamal Khashoggi; Vladimir Putin was totally unaware of the death of Sergei Magnitsky and certainly wasn’t involved in hacking the US 2016 election; and Rodrigo Duterte really wasn’t the main actor behind the extrajudicial killings in the Philippines. They are all simply “strong leaders doing the best for their countries” [without being burdened by legislatures, laws, or human rights].
He knows this from their firm handshakes and the rapport he was able to establish with them as a “deal maker” and “stable genius” 😈
