DAMASCUS, Nov 1:Syrian President Bashar Assad sarcastically characterized US President Donald Trump as the best leader in the country’s history due to his blunt approach to policy in an interview with the Syrian state television.
“He is the best bot because if good policies, but because he is the most transparent, he talks straight ‘we need oil,’ ‘we want to get rid of someone,’ ‘we want to exchange favors for money.’ Such is the United States policy. What can be better than an honest enemy?” Assad said on Thursday.
He went on to call all US presidents “criminals,” who, nevertheless, occasionally receive the Nobel Peace Prize while in reality serving interests of lobbying groups.
Assad has been fighting against different insurgent groups, often backed by Washington, in a devastating civil war since 2011.
