Bernie: It is 'strange' that Trump is more comfortable with authoritarians than democratic leaders

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) said on Sunday that he found it strange that President Trump had difficulty getting along with U.S. allies, but comfortable speaking with authoritarian leaders.

"I find it very strange that President Trump has such a hard time getting along with the leaders of the world's major democracies but feels very comfortable with despots and authoritarian leaders like Putin, Xi Jinping, Duterte and Mohammad Bin Salman," Sanders said in a tweet.

We need to repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment.

The 16th Amendment can disappear too.

It’s amusing that the same one word answer works very well as a response to virtually everything liberals say about conservatives today:

“And?”

Don't laugh but he also wrote screenplays for pornographic films back in the day.

Bernie, Bernie, Bernie.

As if comfort was Trumps big concern as opposed to avoiding nuclear war. And it is worth noting that your statement is total hogwash anyway.

Socialists are going to get us killed someday if we don’t make a major cut in the influence that, amazingly, they still manage to hold over a signicant percentage of the American public, 99% of the media and most our universities.

Trump is likely to be comfortable with those who will entertain his ideas on the expansion of freedoms. Authoritarian leaders know from experience that control doesn’t bring them everything they want, so they listen, even if they’ll never change.

Democrat leaders reap votes with promises they won’t be able to keep, and they “know” when they get things running exactly like the utopia in their head, the world will be perfect. They don’t have to listen to anyone else to achieve their perfect world, just insist authoritatively that everything be done their way, for the benefit of all or course.

It’s really not that strange when you realize that, since he is not a career politician, Trump has a very low tolerance for bullsh!t. If there is a tragic flaw in the republican form of government with democratically elected politicians, it is that politicians are, by their nature, bullsh!t artists. Authoritarians might be evil and they might be duplicitous on various issues, but they are less likely to be full of bullsh!t on virtually every issue. It’s much easier to deal with a counterparty who you know is acting in self-interest even if it is opposed to your own interest than it is to deal with a two-faced backstabber.

It’s only strange, Bernie, because you’re looking at it with your head jammed into your keister.
