A lot of stupidity. “So we don’t have good leadership, and I will say that if, if I get in, things will be a lot different. Finally, when asked whether he would condemn Putin’s alleged brutal tactics, Trump responded: “Sure, absolutely”.
But confronted with pushback, Trump actually embraced Putin with even greater vigor.

The issue had come up Friday after Trump, asked about the deaths of journalists under Putin, had said, “I think our country does plenty of killing also”.
While speaking about the crisis in Syria, Putin said for Russian Federation it is “easy to be working both with President Assad and with the USA side. Unlike what we have in this country”, – failed to satisfy the MSNBC host, who went on to say, “But again: He kills journalists that don’t agree with him”. “He’s running his country, and at least he’s a leader”, said Trump.
“He’s a dictator. He’s a bully”, declared the former Florida governor, adding that the Russian president admires strength and the United States should demonstrate strength to counter him in the global arena. “That’s not the same -” Stephanopoulos interjected.
“If Russia wants to bomb the hell out of ISIS, and join us in that effort, I am absolutely fine with it”, he said. “I just think so”. “All of a sudden I’m hearing things like, ‘Oh isn’t it awful that Putin is saying that, ‘” Trump recalled. “Shirley and I have been praying for a leader such as this”, he added, referring to his wife.
“The thing that is so concerning about Mr. Trump’s compliments of Vladimir Putin is Vladimir Putin has slaughtered his own, murdered his own people, including people I knew”. “But this isn’t like somebody that’s stood with a gun and he’s taken the blame or he’s admitted that he’s killed”. “He’s never – it’s never been proven that he’s killed anybody”.
Trump then turned to the allegations that Putin uses killings to intimidate his political opposition, including hostile reporters.
That comment was enough to draw a rebuke from Mitt Romney, the 2012 GOP presidential nominee, who tweeted: “Important distinction: thug Putin kills journalists and opponents; our presidents kill terrorists and enemy combatants”.
“It’s nonsense, ” Trump said by telephone on NBC’s Meet the Press. “It’s possible that he does but I don’t think it’s been proven”. Yeah, sure, there are allegations.
