Weve got a lot of killers, Trump said in response to Bill OReilly characterizing Putin as a killer. What do you think? Our countrys so innocent?
Reacting to Trumps comments on Sunday, Christie asserted the president does indeed believe that America is morally superior to Russia, and argued Trump was simply being respectful to Russias leader.
He respects Vladimir Putin because he believes that the leaders of countries deserve to get treated with respect, Christie said on CBSs Face the Nation, instantly raising questions as to why leaders of nations like Australia, Mexico or Germany did not similarly deserve the same level of respect from the president.
The president likes to volley back and forth with people. And when hes being challenged, he likes to challenge back, Christie added. But the fact of the matter is I know President Trump believes that America is morally superior to Russia. I know that hell stand up and be tough with Vladimir Putin. But I also know that he believes that a world where people are speaking with each other, dialoguing, cooperating is a potentially safer world than one when were constantly in conflict.

Stop licking Trump's tiny balls; you're never going to get a job in his White House. And the way things are going, you're a damn fool to want one.

The way they showed total contempt and disrespect for Obama, the leader of their own country, for eight years destroyed their ability to utter those syllables with any dignity

He should have clarified that statement as follows-
"the Con believes that the non-colored leaders of countries deserve to get treated with respect"
The MFer Con has NEVER treated our President Obama with respect and still doesn't.

keeps showing Pres. Peña Nieto of Mexico?

I guess bullies like to stick together.
