RAW STORY
GOP front runner Donald Trump praised North Korean dictator Kim
Jong-Un for maintaining an iron grasp on autocratic power by
slaughtering opponents, including his uncle.
The real estate mogul-turned politician was speaking in Ottumwa, Iowa
on Saturday afternoon when he started talking about nuclear weapons.
North Korea claimed to have successfully tested a nuke this week.
Trump called the North Korean supreme leader a “maniac” but then said he deserves credit for his brutality.
“And you’ve got to give him credit — how many young guys — he was
like 26 or 25 when his father died — take over these tough generals and
all of a sudden, you know, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it. How
does he do that?” Trump went on, according to The Hill.
“Even though it is a culture, and it’s a culture thing, he goes in,
he takes over, he’s the boss. It’s incredible,” Trump said. “He wiped
out the uncle, he wiped out this one, that one. I mean this guy doesn’t
play games.”
Trump said he would make China to “handle the problem” along with Japan and South Korea.
