Fear. Nice of him to remind the world of this.

He's such a fool. Unbelievable, to come out and boast about it.

Trump made the remark during an interview with Fox News' Bill O'Reilly, saying he respected his Russian counterpart.
"But he's a killer," O'Reilly said to Trump.

"There are a lot of killers. You think our country's so innocent?" Trump replied.

A clip of the exchange was released Saturday and the full interview aired Sunday before the Super Bowl.
It was an unusual assertion coming from the President of the United States. Trump himself, however, has made similar points before.


also on morning joe:
He continued, "I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe, so you know. There's a lot of stupidity going on in the world right now, a lot of killing, a lot of stupidity," Trump said.
