The trump defends butchers. When confronted by a talk-show host about Putin the trump said "We kill people too". WHAT?

Of course you can Walt. You ALWAYS work the other side of the aisle. But the point is this. A PATRIOTIC American president who LOVED his country would never defend a butcher by saying his country did the same thing. Do you see the problem here? You side with a guy who attacks insults his own country and its citizens. That does not give you pause? Whatever. Is that what YOU would have said if YOU were the prez and YOU were asked that question? Thank you for your reply!  :)

I merely point out that our government DOES kill our own people.
It has a long history of doing so, and getting away with it.
(Need I bring up Waco or Ruby Ridge?)
So it's kind of hypocritical for any American to condemn other countries who do, without working to punish our own government.

Not knowing the question posed to Trump, I can't say how I would have answered it.
