Dopey Donald wandered away from Hillary for a soliloquy praising Saddam Hussein. No one made him do this . The Donald's admiration for brutal dictators just draws attention from Hillary being above the law. I wonder if that was his intention or is he just stupid? Trump Praises Saddam Hussein, Squandering Opportunity to Destroy Clinton By Tyler O'Neil July 5, 2016 Trump Praises Saddam Hussein, Squandering Opportunity to Destroy Clinton PJ Media Collage of Donald Trump and Saddam Hussein On Tuesday morning, FBI Director James Comey may have exonerated Hillary Clinton, but he also handed her to Donald Trump on a silver platter. He rebuffed each of her major claims about the email "non-"scandal, and called her behavior "extremely careless." He was almost begging The Donald to eviscerate her. Instead, he did the one thing that makes him look worse than her right now -- he praised a dictator. Trump spoke in Raleigh, North Carolina, on Tuesday evening, just hours after President Obama had campaigned with Clinton ( lending her the presidential seal, no less!). Rather than spending his entire remarks focused like a laser on Clinton's malpractice, The Donald proved to be his usual meandering foot-in-mouth self, listing off the virtues of Saddam Hussein. Yes, SADDAM HUSSEIN. This was completely off the cuff, too. No reporter forced The Donald to discuss the deceased Iraqi dictator. "Saddam Hussein was a bad guy, right? He was a bad guy. Really bad guy," Trump declared. "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 a terrorist -- it was over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism." [ Abdul Rahman Yasin made the bomb used in the FIRST World Trade Center attack. Shortly after the 1993 WTC bombing, he returned to Iraq where Saddam put him on a pension: http://usatoday30.usatoday.com/news/world/iraq/2003-09-17-iraq-wtc_x.htm Now you know more than ignoramus Trumpeteers AND the dumbbell they chose to be President. ] Don't belive me? Here's the video. Now, to be fair, The Donald did spend a decent amount of time talking about Hillary's email scandal. "She was guilty! She was guilty!" he declared at the rally. "We have a rigged system, folks." "Today is the biggest evidence ever, that we've seen, that our system is absolutely, totally rigged. It's rigged," Trump stated, smartly talking up the scandal that has dogged Hillary for months. He argued that Senator Bernie Sanders "lost the FBI primary." The Donald went on to explain why the email scandal is important: "People she emailed were hacked and probably -- I think maybe definitely -- were hacked by these hostile actors. Our enemies have a blackmail file on Crooked Hillary, and this alone should mean that she does not run for president of the United States." "She lied!" he declared. "She sent vast amounts of classified information, including information classified as Top Secret!" In classic Trump fashion, The Donald went even further, alleging that Hillary Clinton and Attorney General Loretta Lynch have a secret pact. "It's a bribe!" he declared, noting Clinton's statements that she might extend Lynch's tenure into her own administration. "I mean the attorney general is sitting right there saying, if I get Hillary off the hook, I'm going to have four more years or eight more years. But if she loses, I'm out of a job," Trump explained. "It's a bribe. It's a disgrace." He also accused Obama of being complicit in this conspiracy. "He's campaigning and this was set up a long time ago," The Donald stated. "He knew that the FBI was going to do this because it would have been very uncomfortable for him to campaign with her actually if they didn't take a pass on Crooked Hillary." "So they take a pass, they announce they're not going to press charges, lo and behold, a few hours later, let's have a press conference, let's do a speech together." But what will be the trending story tomorrow morning? Trump praises Saddam Hussein. What was House Speaker Paul Ryan asked about on The Kelly File this evening? Trump's praise of Saddam Hussein. What is trending on Twitter? "Saddam Hussein." pjmedia
