He runs a country in which journalists get murdered if they disagree with the Kremlin. China is the world's last communist dictatorship.

No Mr. Trump, we don't and we should really stick to the friends we already have. – Sebastian Gorka	Found on CNN 7 years ago

I have to be honest, it's an improvement, but it's still problematic and I need a more substantial development of his ideas in the next few weeks and months. – Sebastian Gorka	Found on CNN 7 years ago
