When O'Reilly mentioned Putin, the person, being a killer, Trump answered that the U.S. (not a person) isn't so innocent either, which yes true, also clearly deflecting and avoiding saying or acknowledging anything bad about Putin. What immediately came to my mind was O'Reilly could have followed up with "is the President of the U.S. a killer?". I thought missed opportunity, but of course, that could have never aired.



Missed opportunity for what? Click-bait word games?

This is exactly the problem we have with popular news media, they want these "hard-hitting" soundbites for their promos and clickbait.

The point was clear enough for everyone to understand. Leaders of countries take military action, and people die as a result on both sides. Russia has killed, America has killed. Whats funny is that O'Reilly said "I don't know of any leaders who are killers".

O'Reilly represents the sleeping American who believes USA is good, everyone else evil. Trump woke him up!
