Former GOP senator: 'Trump not a complex man'

BY BRETT SAMUELS - 12/24/17 12:37 PM EST

Former Sen. Rick Santorum (R-Pa.) on Sunday responded to the idea that some individuals have figured out how to appease President Trump by saying the president “is not a complex man.”

“The Japanese, for example, have figured out how to deal with President Trump. You compliment him, you flatter him, you work with him behind the scenes, you don’t take a stand against him publicly. There’s something to this,” CNN’s Jake Tapper said on "State of the Union."

“Yeah, look, Donald Trump is not a complex man. I think that’s fairly certain,” Santorum said. Santorum criticized Democratic Party leaders for failing to work with Trump, saying they “have gone out and driven Donald Trump into the arms of Republicans and conservatives.”

“It’s because he’s getting no quarter from the Democrats. The Democrats are just going after him hammer and tong, and he has no choice but to go and drive the conservative agenda,” Santorum said.

Santorum praised Trump for cutting regulations that he said reflected a conservative agenda.

Why do they keep giving Ricky ANY platform from which to spew more of his garbage?
Ricky - we don't give a shit!!!!!
We threw you out of your seat in Pennsylvania (even though you were living in Virginia but charging Pennsylvania schools to educate your children) and do NOT want you back.
You have "run" for president several times are are most familiar with the bottom of the polling well.
NOBODY wants you except the other wing-nuts that still listen to your garbage!

Stay home - help raise the kids - plant a garden. You spew enough bullshit that it would be well fertilized!

Really....................

STAY HOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
