Clinton out with ad on Trump's praise of dictators


The week after Donald Trump lauded former Iraqi president Saddam Hussein for killing terrorists, Hillary Clinton’s team is out with a new ad featuring Trump’s praise of other dictators as well.

The web ad, titled “Dictators,” begins with a reporter saying:  “They are some of the most dangerous and powerful dictators, and Donald Trump seems to be impressed.”

Clips are then shown of Trump praising North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un, Libya’s former leader Moammar Gadhafi, Russian President Vladimir Putin and Hussein.

Trump's team did not immediately respond to request for comment.
