Trump speaks out about Chinese leader Xi during rally

During a campaign rally in Michigan, Trump spoke about the “nice letter” he received from Chinese leader Xi Jinping: “He wrote me a nice letter the other day when he heard about what happened,” Trump said.

Trump then stated that he gets along well with Xi. He also seemed to be positive about the Chinese state apparatus, because Trump argued: “He’s a brilliant man. He controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. He makes people like Biden look like babies.”Trump was also positive about other leaders who have some authoritarian tendencies. For example, he said: “They’re all smart, tough. They love their country […] we need someone who can protect us. And Orbán was right: we need someone who can protect us.”

  1. I wouldn’t be surprised if the orange one has a picture of Adolf Hitler hanging in his mansion. He also loved his country and controlled people with an iron fist.

  2. “….Trump argued: “He’s a brilliant man. He controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist….”

    Is this really the kind of person we want running the US…putting brilliant and iron fist in the same statement.
