Although Trump acknowledged
Saddam was ‘a bad guy’, he praised him for his efficiency in killing terrorists
saying the current Iraq is a ‘Harvard for terrorism’. He also said it was
better to keep dictators in power in the Middle East.
The U.S Republican party
presumptive Presidential nominee Donald Trump on Tuesday once again expressed
his preference for keeping dictators in power in the Middle East.
“He was a bad guy — really bad guy. But you
know what? He did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn’t
read them the rights. They didn’t talk.
‘They were terrorists.
Over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism,” Trump said on Tuesday during a
rally where he was introduced by Tennessee Senator Bob Corker, chairman of the
Senate Foreign Relations Committee.
Hillary Clinton has
responded to Trump’s comments.
“Trump’s praise for brutal
strongmen seemingly knows no bounds.”
“Trump yet again lauded
Saddam Hussein as a great killer of terrorists, noting with approval that he
never bothered to read anyone their rights,” Jake Sullivan, senior campaign
adviser of Hillary Clinton said in a statement, after noting Trump has also
praised North Korea’s Kim Jong Un and Russia’s Vladimir Putin.
“In reality, Hussein’s
regime was a sponsor of terrorism — one that paid families of suicide bombers
who attacked Israelis, among other crimes,” he said.
“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.”
