Trump continued his praise for Russian President Vladimir Putin at a rally in Georgia



Said Trump: “The smartest one gets to the top. That didn’t work so well recently in our country.”

He added: “But they ask me, ‘Is Putin smart?’ Yes, Putin was smart. And I actually thought he was going to be negotiating. I said, ‘That’s a hell of a way to negotiate, put 200,000 soldiers on the border.’ … I think he made a big mistake, what he’s done to so many people, but that was a big mistake. But it looked like a great negotiation.”

He thought putting 2,000 people in the Capitol on 6 January was a good negotiation tactic also.

Joe said something about Trump not being smart or something and Trump was clearly put off by it.

But I’ll be damned if I can come up with a single one for this guy. Adolf Hitler loved children and dogs. Stalin reportedly also loved children and dogs.

so, I’m at a complete loss as to what, if any, redeeming quality(ies) this bozo has.

he doesn’t like dogs (or any pets that I’m aware of) or children. He wasn’t a good father or husband. He is an incredibly bad businessman.

he’s a really good salesperson, but that’s not one of those traits that makes you go, “Aww” there is a thinking feeling human being in there somewhere.

I truly cannot think of anything. Wrap your mind around that one.

I always look for the good in people, but I couldn't find it in GWB.

But one day he said something that made me crack a smile. I can't remember what it was. I felt guilty for weeks for smiling at something he said.

Former fake POTUS never made me smile once. Not once. I've even tried to find ONE good quality about him. There is none.

Putin and tfg are in the same boat. There are certain people in which...I have trouble putting it into words...in which there is just nothing there. Nothing behind their eyes, if you know what I mean. I view them as non-human.

example of how not to act. If I do something I'm not sure about, I think if it is something he'd do and I don't do it. Always good to have a few of those.

"And I actually thought he was going to be negotiating."

"But it looked like a great negotiation.”

Russia was listening to Trump's comments. He also said Putin was much smarter than Joe Biden, in so many words. “The smartest one gets to the top. That didn’t work so well recently in our country.”

Where is the media? Are they OK so long as Putin is not criticized??
