Trump's kind words for Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte and Russian President Vladimir Putin, and the apparent softening of his language toward North Korean leader Kim Jong Un came in contrast to the concerns others have expressed about those leaders.

Yes of course you are. And I am allowed to say it's bonkers to sympathize with a cop killer, to invite him to speak (via video) at college graduations, etc.

True, and I said that his words at the press conference were the low point of his presidency for me. While his words towards Russia are too friendly, his policies are more adversarial than Obama's. I give Trump criticism for the words (shameful), and credit for his actions.
