I think he's just saying what he's been saying because he thinks it's politically expedient. He's using her, like he uses anyone. She's not a person to him, just a thing he can use to further his own agenda.
And Putin doesn't like her, so what the hell? Why not?
What does "like" or "dislike" have to do with anything in politics? Does Hillary Clinton "like" Obama? It sure didn't seem like it in 2008. But then she was his Secretary of State, so maybe she does. Or maybe the normal definition of "like" and "dislike" don't apply at that level of politics. It's totally irrelevant.
Once Trump decided to make a concerted effort to reach the Presidency, it was like a horse race where you just concentrate on passing the horse in front of you. And once you've passed them, they're meaningless because you're focusing on the next horse. It was the same pattern as he went through the primaries, picking off one Republican would-be contender after another. Why do you think there hasn't been a word about prosecuting Hillary after Trump won? Because that was just rhetoric that was calculated to get him to the finish line first, and once he was there, it was no longer useful, and pursuing it would be a huge waste of time and effort.
Are you really just figuring that out now, 8 months after he won?
Where in my post did you get the idea I thought it was important to the politics of the election whether or not Drumpf liked Hillary?
I was merely pointing out that I didn't think Drumpf disliked Hillary as much as he appears to. Your post only strengthens my point.
