O’Reilly: “Do you respect Putin?” Trump: “I do respect him. O’Reilly: “Do you? Why?” Trump: “I respect a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to get along with them. He’s a leader of his country. I say it’s better to get along with Russian than not. And if Russia helps us in the fight against ISIS…and Islamic terrorism all over the world…major fight. That’s a good thing. Will I get along with him? I have no idea. O’Reilly: “He’s a killer, though…Putin’s a killer.” Trump: “We got a lot of killers. What, you think our country’s so innocent?”

I can't wait to hear the Liberal's opinion of this. Obama was bombing the living sh** out of people for years, but now it's somehow different when Trump admits our hands are not clean.
Oh, wait, I'll bet it's just more evidence he's in bed with the Russians, right?

Hail Mary...somebody finally said it. The holier than though US of A.
In Europe, saved three times by America in the last century, Obama apologized because “there have been times where America has shown arrogance and been dismissive, even derisive.” And in this hemisphere, Obama said, “We have at times been disengaged, and at times we sought to dictate our terms,” culminating in his recent fawning visits with the Castros in Cuba.
The list goes on and on.

I'm not sure that's the point the interviewer was making. Putin and the Russian government has been heavily implicated in the murder of other politicians and journalists that oppose him and his regime. Not implicated in an ATS way a la Hilary Clinton, but as with actual evidence that really exists, not just in a conspiracy theorists imagination.
That's not really the same as killing in military conflict, are you suggesting that Americans are so completely and utterly stupid that they didn't know people died when America invaded them?

The real kicker: Obama can bomb the everloving hell out of 7 separate Muslim nations. But Trump can't limit immigration from those same 7 nations.
Killing Muslims < Not allow Muslim immigration.
How the hell does that even make any sense? We will protest not allowing them to immigrate, but were completely silent when we blew up their house their grandparents were sleeping in?

Just for clarity, are you saying that it is better for government officials to hide their actions rather than be up front about them? I would rather know exactly where my leader stands(even if I don't agree). It is quite obvious that with so many accusations(and some facts) that our country's leaders have engaged in nefarious dealings. The fact that they deny it rigorously shows(me at least) that they have something to hide, be it accusations against them or the reasoning behind such actions being flawed.

But then he went on to overthrow the Govts of Egypt, Libya and tried with Syria.
Then attempted to influence the UKs brexit vote.
So all that shows is that Obama is a hypocritical asshole.

That may well be the case — I'm not arguing anything about that either way — but my point was that Trump is not the first sitting American President to admit fault on behalf of the United States government. Was I wrong?

Admitting that the US is not innocent of murder and violence is huge.
