Trump Wins Endorsement From another East European Leader

Source: Bloomberg

"Czech President Milos Zeman endorsed Donald Trump as the better choice in the U.S. election in a sharp contrast with the majority of European leaders and the prime minister of his own country."

...

"Zeman, who served as the Czech prime minister for four years under the late President Vaclav Havel, has clashed with Premier Sobotka on a number of other issues. He’s a vocal opponent of EU sanctions against Russia and supporter of Vladimir Putin’s annexation of Crimea. He has also adopted a hard-line stance against refugees, whom he has repeatedly said are responsible for terrorism."

For those who are not familar with Mr. Zeman's background:

In 1968, during the Prague Spring, he became a member of the Communist Party of Czechoslovakia

This endorsement, plus the endorsement of the KKK, and other white suprematist organizations, adds more questions regarding Mr. Trumps dealings

Of course Zeman endorsed him. He's another extremely limited, bigoted, bloviating, populist authoritarian who'll drag his nation into a fascist nightmare if he can.

And of the Czech Friends of the Earth, award-winning nature conservationists trying to protect a national park from illegal logging, Zemen said he would treat them in a “good old medieval way: burn them, piss on them and salt them”.


A clue to the attitudes of a megalomaniac President Trump, which he's already giving many hints of.
