Video: Trump praises China’s president at Mar-a-Lago gala

Raw Story  

Donald Trump, who openly admires and envies the world’s dictators and strongmen, chose the week of Joe Biden’s summit with Xi Jinping to lavish praise on the Chinese president — and trash the U.S. president. After mocking Biden as confused, Trump, the former president and Republican frontrunner for 2024, said during a gala at his Mar-a-Lago home that Xi is “like a piece of steel — strong, smart,” according to a video obtained by Raw Story. Before Putin’s invasion of Ukraine last year, Trump called him “smart.” “I mean, he's taking over a country for $2 worth of sanctions,” Trump said. In 2018, as the sitting president, Trump said of the murder of journalist Jamal Khashoggi, “It could very well be that had knowledge of this tragic event — maybe he did and maybe he didn’t! In any case, our relationship is with the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.” As a sitting president in 2020, Trump said of Erdogan, “He’s tough, but I get along with him.
