During a talk with NBC News that was broadcast on Syrian state television, the Western Asia country’s president, Bashar al-Assad, suggested that Donald Trump is the ideal president for the United States’ adversaries, Newsweek reports.
According to Assad, it’s Trump’s honesty and transparency that makes him the “best American president.”
“Why? Not because his policies are good. But because he’s the most transparent president,” Assad said.
The 54-year-old dictator suggested that it’s inevitable that American presidents will commit crimes and nevertheless receive a Nobel Peace Prize. Assad suggested that U.S. presidents are portrayed as defenders of “human rights” and America’s “unique” and “brilliant” principles.
“All American presidents commit crimes and end up taking the Nobel Peace Prize and appear as a defender of human rights, and the ‘unique’ and ‘brilliant’ American or Western principles,” he claimed.
Assad went on to blast the leadership of the United States.
