Why is Trump so fond of bloodthirsty tyrants?
Donald Trump seems to have a thing for murderous dictators. Maybe it’s because he worships raw power? Anyway, Mother Jones has catalogued some of the thugs and strongmen The Donald admires, and notes his top political operative earned serious bucks as a lobbyist representing unsavory foreign characters. Here’s a partial Trump A-list:
- Saddam Hussein
- Vladimir Putin
- Muammar Gaddafi
- Kim Jong Un
- Bashar al-Assad
- Viktor Yanukovych
- Jonas Savimbi
- Mobuto Sese Seko
- Sani Abacha
Well, maybe knowing these people on a personal basis (that is, the ones still alive) might come in handy if Donald becomes President of the United States. Perhaps he really could phone Kim and ask him to please not nuke the USA if North Korea gets ICBMs for its A-bombs, especially if Dennis Rodman is his vice president.
