As if he hasn’t already said enough patently ridiculous and even evil things, now GOP frontrunner Donald Trump is proclaiming his admiration for tyrants such as North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un.

Speaking at a campaign rally in Ottumwa, Iowa, Saturday, Trump began by calling the North Korean leader a “maniac,” butthen added:

“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 and all of a sudden, you know, it’s pretty amazing when you think of it. How does he do that?”

Trump also expressed his tacit endorsement of Kim John-Un’s execution of his own uncle, which certainly sounds like something he might even consider himself if the situation warranted:

“Even though it is a culture, and it’s a culture thing, he goes in, he takes over, he’s the boss. It’s incredible. He wiped out the uncle, he wiped out this one, that one. I mean this guy doesn’t play games.”

When he was asked how he would handle the issue of North Korea and their nuclear weapons, Trump cryptically saidwould “make” China, Japan, and South Korea solve the problem.

As I have said on more than one instance, Donald Trump has no plans, only talking points that he repeats endlessly and at high volume. And yet Republican primary voters–based on the polls–seem to be eating it up and asking for more. This shows us just how far to the lunatic fringe the entire GOP has drifted in recent years.

Trump may win the Republican nomination and be the GOP Presidential candidate. If so, he will lose the general election, and he will lose it badly. But afterwards, he can always take his private jet and pay a visit to Kim Jong-Un. They can sit around and discuss the best way to rid yourself of pesky family members.
