Trump Praises Saddam Hussein’s Defeat Of Terrorists, Calls Today’s Iraq 'Harvard For Terrorism'

Donald Trump on Tuesday once again expressed his preference for keeping dictators in power in the Middle East.

While acknowledging that Saddam Hussein "was a bad guy," Trump praised the former Iraqi dictator's efficient killing of "terrorists" despite the fact that Iraq was listed as a state sponsor of terrorism during Hussein's time in power.

"He was a bad guy - really bad guy. But you know what? He did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn't read them the rights. They didn't talk. They were terrorists. Over. Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism," Trump said.
