   When Trump was asked his take on Putin's murdering of journalists, he   
   stated "He’s running his country and at least he’s a leader, unlike what   
   we have in this country."  So in effect he equates killing one's own   
   people in order to silence them to "running a country" and an example of   
   fine leadership.
