I think you’d have to be deaf and blind or a Republican not to see that Donald Trump is cuddling-up to people we used to call the enemy.

As he settles into office, President Trump’s affection for totalitarian leaders has grown beyond Russia’s president to include strongmen around the globe.

Egyptian President Abdel ­Fatah al-Sissi has had his opponents gunned down, but Trump praised him for doing “a fantastic job.” Thailand’s Prime Minister Prayuth Chan-ocha is a junta chief whose military jailed dissidents after taking power in a coup, yet Trump offered to meet with him at the White House. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has eroded basic freedoms, but after a recent political victory, he got a congratulatory call from Trump.

Then there’s the case of Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte. He is accused of the extrajudicial killing of hundreds of drug users, and he maligned President Barack Obama as a “son of a whore” at an international summit last year.

Trump is peddling his theory that the only way to beat Isis is with totalitarianism.  So we give them permission to kill their political enemies and build up their reputations, meanwhile insulting democracies all over the world.

I don’t get it. I bet a plate of Momma’s fajitas that Trump doesn’t get it either.

Verdelia says that Trump admires these leader for their ability to kill people in cold blood.  Nobody will let Trump have a gun, so he’s using his health care plan to do it.
