Debbie Wasserman Schultz leads attacks against Trump, Pence on National Security, Muslims, dictators
PRAISE FOR DICTATORS: Trump praises dictators like Vladimir Putin and Kim Jung Un.
On Vladimir Putin…
TRUMP:“I will tell you, in terms of leadership, he’s getting an ‘A,’ and our president is not doing so well.”
TRUMP:“I got to know him very well, because we were both on 60 minutes, we were stablemates and we did very well that night. You know that.”
On Kim Jong Un…
TRUMP:“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…. It’s incredible. He wiped out the uncle. He wiped out this one, that one. I mean, this guy doesn’t play games.”
ABANDONS OUR ALLIES: Trump has threatened to abandon our allies in NATO and picks fights with friendly world leaders.
TRUMP:“We don’t really need NATO in its current form. NATO is obsolete… if we have to walk, we walk.”
On the mayor of London…
TRUMP: “Let’s take an I.Q. test… I think they’re very rude statements and frankly, tell him, I will remember those statements.”
the German chancellor…
TRUMP:“What Merkel has done is incredible, it’s actually mind boggling. Everyone thought she was a really great leader and now she’s turned out to be this catastrophic leader. And she’ll be out if they don’t have a revolution.”
CALLS AMERICA A THIRD WORLD COUNTRY: For someone who wants to lead the country, Donald Trump thinks very little of the United States. Trump has called the military a disaster. He thinks we have become a Third World country. He says the world is laughing at us and we have become the “world’s whipping boy.” And it goes on…
TRUMP (2012): “The world is laughing at us.”
TRUMP (2013):“After Syria, our enemies are laughing!”
TRUMP (2014):“Mexican leadership has been laughing at us for many years”
TRUMP (2015):“The Persians are great negotiators. They are laughing at the stupidity of the deal we’re making”
TRUMP (2016):“We can’t afford to be so nice and so foolish anymore. Our country is in trouble. ISIS is laughing at us.”
Washington Post: “The 100-plus times Donald Trump assured us that America is a laughingstock”
