Who does he think he is, Marge Schott? "Hitler was good in the beginning, but he went too far.""Everything you read, when he came in he was good," the Cincinnati Reds owner said in an interview broadcast by ESPN.

I think his own generals tried to kill him, didn't they?"Bernie Sanders on 60 Minutes said this and lots of newspapers wrote:"We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad.

Or maybe it IS Presidential to laud praise onto homicidal dictators.
FDR - "(Joseph Stalin was)truly representative of the heart and soul of Russia” and a leader who was “thoroughly conversant with the provisions of our Constitution.”
Nixon - on his historic first trip to China, Nixon compared Mao Zedong and the communist leadership to George Washington and the other leaders of the American revolution.
Ronald Reagan was enthusiastic about Rios Montt, the genocidal president of Guatemala. “I know that President Rios Montt is a man of great personal integrity and commitment,” Reagan said in 1982.
Donald Trump - Kim Jong Un is "A talented man who loves his country very much. An honor to meet him."
Perhaps that's the path to the White House.
