WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he thinks it's great that China's president now holds that office for life and muses that maybe the U.S. will do the same someday.

Trump's remarks were met with laughter and applause during a luncheon for Republican donors Saturday at his South Florida estate. CNN said it obtained a recording of the remarks.

Chinese President Xi Jinping recently consolidated power. Trump told the gathering: "He's now president for life. President for life. And he's great." Trump added, "I think it's great. Maybe we'll give that a shot someday."

Trump criticized his Democratic presidential opponent Hillary Clinton, repeated his view about "a rigged system," and called the Iraq invasion "the single worst decision ever made." He referred to former President George W. Bush as "another real genius." <snip>

My guess is Trump will tear this planet down to the last brick before he gives up a failed presidency.

YAHOO ....

... the "news outlet" that brought us the fraudulent Fusion GPS document corroboration so
fraudulent FISA warrants could be obtained and spy on American citizens illegally.

Obviously a joke on the president's part. He has enough sense of the rightness and decency of the American system to make light of such things for comic effect.

His predecessor, by contrast, would have said the same thing, more likely in private, but it wouldn't have been a joke. He'd have meant it. Similar to what prompted Canada's leftwing Justin Trudeau last year to shed a few tears for Fidel Castro when he died.

President Trump instead commented on the totalitarian cruelty and political sickness of Castro upon his death.

Old news. He said that about a year ago...
