US President Donald Trump paid the opposition Democrats a backhanded compliment, saying in a speech that they were tougher to deal with and “far more unreasonable” than the governments of North Korea, China or Russia.


Trump made a comment as part of an anecdote during an address at the Fincantieri Marinette Marine in Wisconsin on Friday, prompting the DNC war room to accuse him of having “no idea what it means to be president” and daring to compare them to “murderous authoritarians” in Pyongyang, Beijing and Moscow.





Aside from being insulting to China, North Korea and Russia – on which they are far more hawkish than Trump, if not most Republicans – the DNC reaction seemed to gloss over the fact that the party has been a no-holds-barred literal Resistance to Trump since before he took office.


Democrats were behind the accusations of “collusion” with Russia that snowballed into the ‘Russiagate’ probe, which eventually came up empty after trampling half a dozen Trump campaign aides, starting with General Michael Flynn. After that failed, they impeached Trump in the House of Representatives over a phone call with the president of Ukraine that broke no laws or rules, only to see him acquitted in the Republican-majority Senate.
