It’s a sort of reverse Rodney Dangerfield routine, as CNN reports on some President Trump remarks at Mar-a-Lago:
President Donald Trump bemoaned a decision not to investigate Hillary Clinton after the 2016 presidential election, decrying a “rigged system” that still doesn’t have the “right people” in place to fix it, during a freewheeling speech to Republican donors in Florida on Saturday.
In the closed-door remarks, a recording of which was obtained by CNN, Trump also praised China’s President Xi Jinping for recently consolidating power and extending his potential tenure, musing he wouldn’t mind making such a maneuver himself.
“He’s now president for life. President for life. No, he’s great,” Trump said. “And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot some day.”
I certainly hope he was joking, because if he’s serious then he shows he has no respect for the basic foundations of the United States.
And that’s truly embarrassing for every Trump supporter who thinks they are patriots.
