At a rally on Saturday August 3 the former president described Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin as “fierce” and “smart” before anticipating the reaction from the media. He called both leaders “fierce,” adding that Xi is “smart” to rule China with an “iron fist.”
“He rules with an iron fist, 1.5 billion people, yeah I’d say he’s smart,” he continued. “Wouldn’t you say he’s smart?”
Xi, whose authoritarian tenure has been marked by an increase in censorship and mass surveillance, has been accused by Human Rights Watch of starting a “broad and sustained offensive on human rights” since he became China’s leader in 2012.
Imagine what a second term for Trump would be like. He would be taking revenge on those who opposed him. There would be no guard rails preventing him from withdrawing from NATO. Military parades in Washington D.C. would be the order of the day.
Donald Trump dreams of absolute power and our system of government could permit him to obtain his objective.

With great sadness,i concur.
Absolutely! You are right on pointg with this one.
This is so good that I simply had no option other than to reblog it. Thank you for telling the absolute truth.
Gossip! You know better. Why do you repeat such tripe?
Hitler was smart. Duh! Hitler was not wise, but he was smart.
It takes considerable brains to rule over people. Tyrants have to be fierce to intimate those they rule into obedience. That is just the way it is. If you don’t know this, what does it say about you?
With what Trump has reportedly stated, I agree, it’s clear he admires authoritarians. I just hope and pray that the rift in the U.S. heals. No matter what a country/person with liberals/conservatives, people will always bitch about something. I would just like to see them do it without the hatred.
