As if the 2016 election and its aftermath couldn’t get any more bizarre, now former Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s daughter is praising President-elect Donald Trump as a man with “a high level of political sensibility.”
In an interview with CNN that was published Thursday, Raghad Saddam Hussein dissed outgoing President Barack Obama and former President George W. Bush, suggesting Trump will be the commander in chief who is finally able to normalize relations between battle-ravaged Iraq and the United States.
“This man has just arrived to the leadership … but from what is apparent, this man has a high level of political sensibility that is vastly different than the one who preceded him,” she said. “He exposed the mistakes of the others, specifically in terms of Iraq, which means he is very aware of the mistakes made in Iraq and what happened to my father.”
