Trump supported by more dicators daughters than any other president.

The eldest daughter of Iraq's infamous former leader Saddam Hussein has praised US President-elect Donald Trump as possessing a "high level of political sensibility" that sets him apart from his predecessors.

While Raghad, 48, said she blames the United States for the chaos that fractured Iraq, she touted Trump's political acumen for being "vastly different" from that of outgoing US President Barack Obama.

"He exposed the mistakes of the others, specifically in terms of Iraq, which means he is very aware of the mistakes made in Iraq and what happened to my father," she told CNN of Trump.

While Trump's foreign policy on Iraq has thus far been fairly vague, he has asserted that he intends to focus US military prowess on defeating the Islamic State group in Syria and Iraq.
