Trump praises Chinese president for controlling citizens ‘with an iron fist’
In an interview with Joe Rogan, Donald Trump praised Chinese President Xi Jinping as "a brilliant guy."
Former President Donald Trump heaped praise on authoritarian Chinese President Xi Jinping during a lengthy interview Friday with the podcaster Joe Rogan.
“We’re dealing with the smartest people,” Trump said, referring to the leaders of U.S. adversaries, about an hour and a half into their conversation.
“They hate when I say, you know, when the press — when I called President Xi, [the press] said, ‘Well, he called President Xi brilliant.’ Well, he’s a brilliant guy. He controls 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. I mean, he’s a brilliant guy, whether you like it or not. And they go crazy.”

His voterbase does not care.
This the fucking world my dad wants us to live in. He begged me tonight to please vote Trump he going save us.
Wonder what my dad would think about this? He hates China says Trump hates China and will make them pay with tariffs. I tried to explain that we pay those not China but it wss like talking to a brike wall.
My dad's the same way, he hasn't pleaded with me about my vote but that may only be because I don't talk to him.
Have you seen "The Brainwashing of My Dad"? I think that's what it's called, a friend recommended it to me and I need to make some time for it, sounds like it covers the impact of garbage like fox news on old menI've actually heard using parental to controls to block Fox News magically turns right wingers into decent human beings/otherkin forced to live as human beings.
Note that you may have to deal with symptoms similar to addicts coming off their high, because that's exactly what it is.
I heard about that too, they get grouchy for awhile.. but eventually calm down after a lot of fits...
No where do I see that?
JustWatch has some choices, I'd be partial to Pluto unless you wanna rent/buy it
He won't think about it.
The idea behind tariffs is to increase the prices of imports so that domestic production can compete. Higher prices are definitely the point, but the idea is that at least with domestic production the price increases get circulated back into the domestic economy as jobs/wages. But, if the domestic economy can increase production without increasing wage expenditure then the money from the higher prices just goes to the shareholders.
If it's something for which there is no domestic production, it's just a tax, and it should become a question of what does money from the tariffs get used for... probably taxcuts for the rich.
