“He doesn’t talk like a traditional politician,” the Florida senator told Jake Tapper on CNN’s “State of the Union.”

Sen. Marco Rubio (R-Fla.) downplayed former President Donald Trump’s alarming remarks about urging Russia to “do whatever the hell they want” to other NATO countries.

“He doesn’t talk like a traditional politician,” Rubio said Sunday on CNN’s “State of the Union” with Jake Tapper. “We’ve already been through this. You think people would have figured it out.”

At a Saturday rally in Conway, South Carolina, Trump, a NATO critic, said that the alliance was “busted” until his presidency. Trump also recounted a discussion with an unspecified “president of a big country,” specifically claiming he would support a Russian attack against members that didn’t pay enough for defense spending.

“No, I would not protect you. In fact, I would encourage them to do whatever the hell they want,” Trump, who has, ironically, been scrutinized for not paying bills, said.

      For no other reason than to test what should be happening to this traitorous fucking rat, I wish we could sort of “copy” Trumps situation into a normal person. A normal person with all his legal/financial problems, accusations, the evidence against him, etc. I just want to know what would happen if the law wasn’t a two faced bitch. Because I can almost guarantee that, without the cult of personality or the political backing, republicans would be calling for this normal person to be swinging in the gallows.
