Trump on dictators: 'The tougher and the meaner they are, the better I get along with them'

“It’s funny, the relationships I have, the tougher and the meaner they are, the better I get along with them.” — Trump

Another horrifying Donald Trump quote was revealed Monday in audio aired for the first time on NBC's "Today," in a segment with Bob Woodward, who is promoting his forthcoming book.

This time, Woodward's audiotape from the new book "RAGE" captures Donald Trump musing on his bromance with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Why is Trump so fond of evil dictators, wonders Trump?

"I get along very well with Erdogan, even though you're not supposed to because everyone says, 'What a horrible guy," Trump told Bob Woodward.

"But you know, for me it works out good. It's funny, the relationships I have, the tougher and the meaner they are, the better I get along with them. You'll explain that to me someday, okay? But maybe it's not a bad thing. … The easy ones are the ones I maybe don't like as much or don't get along with so much."
