I could not make up stuff like this.
The day after Comey hands him a good issue over Hillary’s emails, Trump praises Saddam Hussein for his murders.
Donald Trump expressed admiration for overthrown Iraqi dictator Saddam Hussein’s skill at killing terrorists during a Tuesday campaign rally in Raleigh, North Carolina.
"Saddam Hussein was a bad guy. Right? He was a bad guy, really bad guy,” Trump offered as a disclaimer. “But you know what he did well? He killed terrorists. He did that so good. They didn't read them the rights—they didn't talk, they were a terrorist, it was over.”

Despite this dark record, Trump suggested that Hussein deserved praise for managing to keep terrorism at bay in Iraq and that his ouster helped to destabilize the region.
“Today, Iraq is Harvard for terrorism,” he told the crowd in Raleigh. “You want to be a terrorist, you go to Iraq. It's like Harvard, okay? So sad. So sad, okay? So sad.”
TPM: Donald Trump Praises Saddam Hussein For Killing Terrorists ‘So Good’
From wikepedia:
Saddam was notable for using terror against his own people. The Economist described Saddam as "one of the last of the 20th century's great dictators, but not the least in terms of egotism, or cruelty, or morbid will to power".[33] Saddam's regime brought about the deaths of at least 250,000 Iraqis[40] and committed war crimes in Iran, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International issued regular reports of widespread imprisonment and torture.

Now that’s a role model!
God must love Hillary, because he gave her Trump as an opponent. Any other opponent and she might be in political trouble now. Instead, she can move the news cycle to whether America should implement Saddam Hussein’s evil here at home.
Update I:
Amanda Carpenter, a former aide to Ted Cruz, added, Seriously. “How do you screw up messaging Hillary’s ‘extreme carelessness’ by praising Saddam freaking Hussein”?
