do you know what you call it when a president alters his foreign policy based on how a foreign leader treats his friends?
that's called nepotism.
that's called corruption.
i would hope that, in the future, he's a little more cognizant of the fact that people are currently rating and judging him on his reasoning skills and on his temperament, as he's running for an important executive position.
that was a stupid comment that was no doubt suggested to him by the stupid people he has around him right now, and he should walk it back.
