'A 'great' guy! Yep, a great guy! My good friend Saddam. One of the many great guys that are on my list of great guys. Wonderful! Not only was he a great guy, but he was a great killer of people. Bad people. Mostly. 'Terrorists', Sorta. Well, Sure, he 'might' have accidentally killed one or two good guys, but boy he was good at killing terrorists, you Know, those really Bad ones. What a guy! Can't help but admire and look up to a great guy like that. He's a lot like Me! Great! We have a lot in common. Lot's in common. Lots! For instance, we both are Males, of course I'm way better looking than him, I mean, Hey, check out my hair doo, am I cool or What! And can I make some childish faces or What! He was more like, 'or what', but still one heck of a guy! He was what you might call a despot, which is what I, myself, want to be some day, and the Sooner the Better! I'm sick and tired of being just a regular run of the mill unassuming reality star billionaire kinda guy. I'm way more than that! Bunches! Saddam, He was a great dictator, which is what I'm Gonna be real soon if enough brain damaged, stupid American 'sheep' will vote for me. Actually, I have Nothing, absolutly Nothing in common with the average American. Can't relate. Nothing there. Empty plate. Now I Know, I know, a lot of misinformed folks are gonna say that 'Saddam The Butcher' slaughtered perhaps millions of his own people just because they refused to follow him, but hey, is That so bad? I bet there were lots of those mean terrorists, or at Least some stupid lie spreading 'reporters' somewhere in there. Sometimes you gotta kill some good ones to get the bad ones. You just gotta! And even 'If' he Did do that, then where's the wittness's to all that silly stuff? Just a bunch of lies some useless reporters made up to make him look bad. The whole world would be a better place if we had just left him alone.
And speaking of such things, how about that 'great' guy, and my very own personal BFF by the way, Vladimir Putin, or as I like to call him, 'Vlad The Glad'. What a guy! Boy is he 'great' or What! Or 'what'. We both hate Reporters! Hate'em! Spit! Freedom of the 'press' just makes Us pee in our sleep. Actually, I just call it a 'wet dream'. It just 'depends'. He's also one great dictator! He's gonna make a 'dictator demo' tape for me. Of course it's gonna be on VHS tape, and I'm not too sure what the heck That even Is, which I gotta figure out how to watch it, but what a great guy! He says I am Too, and you know What, I believe him on That one! I Am one great guy! When I'm President of America I'm gonna leave him alone. The world will be a better place with him in it. Better! And peaceful! He knows how to shut people up that don't like him! I'm sure we'll see more of him in the near future. Shut up people! Shut up! Stupid women reporters! Liars!
Another wonderful little guy like Vlad that helps keep the whole world in line is that fat little bridge trowll dictator of North Korea. Now There's a cool guy! I wish I could own his hair doo guy! The world could use a few more peaceful people loving 'leaders' just like him! We need'em folks! Need'em! That's why America needs Me! I wont mess with Him either! And while we're on the subject of really 'Great' guys who Really knew how to murder people, including a few bad guys, how about that really wonderful and totally misunderstood dictator of Germany back in the '40's. Should'a let him alone! Great leader! Compassionate guy! People loved him! Even people who Hated him 'loved' him! That's just like Me, people hate the dickens outta me, but they can't help but 'love' me at the same time. That's because they 'know' that I'm their kinda guy! It's called the 'love-hate' relationship. You might call it the 'Stockholm Syndrome' too. Whatever. I know how to treat people, especially brainless people, how to win their hearts by killing their souls, how to make enemies outta friends while making them 'think' I love them, and that they love me right back. Stupid people! See, that's why everyone is scared of me, and are gonna follow me right down the drain. Chickens! Scardiecats! I'm gonna build a 'Wall'. I'm good at building 'walls! They know that when I win, payback will be pure hell if they didn't vote for me. I'm not an official 'dictator' Yet, but boy do I have potential! Don't mess with Me! I been watching my special BFF's, you know, the Real dictators, and I'm catching on real fast! I'm Such a 'history' buff! I've been reading a lot of Military History stuff, especially dictator stuff, to learn how to be 'Commander In Chief' of America's Military machine. 'Commander, His Majesty Trump', man I love that handle! Has a nice ring to it. Did I mention that I'm my very own favorite 'dictator in waiting'? Wow! Only in America! So, to all you brainless sheep-like Americans who know how to vote, and who hate all the things that I myself Pretend to 'hate', to avoid dissapointment and future regret, be sure to vote for me real soon. Remember, a wasted vote is one that you'll have to live with for the next FOUR years of your miserable lives. What a great guy I am, or What! Really. No, really. Realy. No.' :/ :/

HE killed terrorists. He did that so good':Trump causes new uproar with praise for 'bad guy' Saddam Hussein
- A claim Donald Trump has made a half-dozen times stretching back to October 2015 became a major campaign kerfuffle on Tuesday night
- He said 'bad guy' Saddam Hussein, the late Iraqi dictator, was adept at clearing the Middle East of terrorists
- The U.S. designated Hussein's Iraq as a state sponsor of terrorism for decades and used that label as justification to invade in 2003
- Trump has said for months that the Middle East would be more stable if Hussein were still in power, but that claim drew inordinate attention during a campaign stop in North Carolina
- The new outrage will likely take pressure off of Hillary Clinton after a day when she was castigated for 'careless' mishandling of classified materials while she was secretary of state
Donald Trump raised eyebrows – and Democratic hackles – on Tuesday night with a well-worn campaign stump line about Saddam Hussein that paints the infamous Iraqi dictator as tough on terror.
'Saddam Hussein was a bad guy. He was a bad guy, a really bad guy,' Trump said during a campaign stop in Raleigh, North Carolina.
'But you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn't read 'em the rights. They didn't talk. They were a terrorist? It was over.'
Trump was criticizing the Obama administration for pulling U.S. troops out of Iraq with advance notice, creating a vacuum that al Qaeda in Iraq – later rebranded as the ISIS terror army – rushed to fill.

'Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism,' Trump scoffed. 'You want to be a terrorist, you go to Iraq. It's like Harvard, okay?'
House Speaker Paul Ryan was in the midst of a live interview with Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly when she told him what Trump had said.
A shocked Ryan replied that the Iraqi strongman 'was one of the 20th century's most evil people. He was up there.'
'He committed mass genocide against his own people using chemical weapons,' Ryan continued. 'Saddam Hussein was a bad guy.'

The U.S. government considered Hussein one of the world's biggest state sponsors of terrorism throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
That designation was among the rationales cited by the George W. Bush administration to defend its decision to invade Iraq in 2003.
And much of Hussein's reputation for killing 'terrorists' stemmed from his brutal crushing of opposition groups, whose dissenters he would execute and label as terrorists for propaganda purposes.
It was this habit that earned him his nickname: 'the butcher of Baghdad.'

Trump had offered him backhanded praise during at least six previous campaign appearances – often in nearly identical language – but the comments were often lost in the static of a fierce Republican primary battle between the billionaire and 16 other contenders.
Now that the presidential race is a two-person contest, the pronouncement immediately caught the attention of reporters on a day when Hillary Clinton faced a torrent of partisan wrath over her classified email scandal – a day that would ordinarily have been a series of victory laps for her Republican opponent.
Hours earlier FBI Director James Comey had declared that despite a litany of offenses that conformed to the definitions of criminal conduct, the U.S. government would likely not prosecute her.
But the shift of focus to Trump's seeming enthusiasm for Hussein will likely take pressure off of Clinton on Wednesday.
In October 2015 the billionaire told a CNN audience on the Sunday 'State of the Union' program that the Middle East would be a more stable place if Hussein and Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi were still in power.
'Look at Iraq. Iraq used to be no terrorists. He would kill the terrorists immediately, which is like, now it's the Harvard of terrorism,' Trump said of Hussein.
'If you look at Iraq from years ago – I'm not saying he was a nice guy, he was a horrible guy – but it was a lot better than it is right now. Right now, Iraq is a training ground for terrorists.'
A month later during a speech in the 'Politics and Eggs' series at the New Hampshire Institute of Politics, Trump
Whether you like Saddam Hussein or not, he used to kill terrorists. Terrorists did not have fun in that country. Now, that's the Harvard of terrorism. When you want to become a terrorist, you go to Iraq. It's like a catastrophe.'
The 70-year-old presidential candidate signs a copy of Playboy magazine at a campaign rally in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Tuesday
And during a February 15 press conference this year in South Carolina, Trump told reporters: 'You know, Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, but one thing about him: He killed terrorists. Now, Iraq is Harvard for terrorists. You wanna become a terrorist? Go to Iraq.'
Clinton's senior foreign policy adviser Jake Sullivan fired back Tuesday night with force.
Statement From Jake Sullivan On Donald Trump’s Praise For Saddam Hussein
Tuesday, HFA Senior Policy Adviser Jake Sullivan released the following statement in response to Donald Trump’s praise for Saddam Hussein:
'Tonight, Trump yet again lauded Saddam Hussein as a great killer of terrorists,' Sullivan said in a statement, 'noting with approval that he never bothered to read anyone their rights.'
'In reality, Hussein's regime was a sponsor of terrorism – one that paid families of suicide bombers who attacked Israelis, among other crimes.'
'Trump's cavalier compliments for brutal dictators, and the twisted lessons he seems to have learned from their history, again demonstrate how dangerous he would be as Commander-in-Chief and how unworthy he is of the office he seeks,' he said.
