When asked why would you respect a killer, he said there are plenty of killers here too. Are you arguing with that? What about George Bush, I'm sure he indirectly killed many innocent people.
Many Americans have a problem with the President of the United States equating our country with an authoritarian, murderous regime. Putin kills or jails journalists and political opponents. American presidents and most Americans do not normally respect dictatorships.
Sally, maybe you should research Putin's history of killing....don't think US has reached that status of depravity, but with Trump, anything is possible. What he said was totally unacceptable. So far we don't poison our political dissenters, or kill other members of our Gov't when they try having a voice....they invade and kill millions of civilian citizens in their aggressive moves to take over more and more land and power...Most people (even Republicans) took offense that a POTUS could compare us to Russia....get a grip......If you want a dictatorship, i could suggest places other than US and i resent when a nut job comes into WH and acts like an "out of control" dictator man child having daily temper tantrums......No, you didn't specifically mention some of these words, but your overall comments imply acceptance of Trump saying US is just as bad as Russia when it comes to killing....If you don't see Trump as dangerous, then, I think you and similar attitudes are the problem just as much as Trump is a problem to people who want a sane President at the helm.....
