After Sunday’s interview with ABC’s George Stephanopoulos where the host tried to bait the GOP front-runner into saying he backed Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump was in rare form tonight.

Trump repeatedly joked during a Grand Rapids rally that he would “never kill” reporters, even though he hates them.
“I would never kill them but I do hate them. And some of them are such lying, disgusting people. It’s true,” Trump said Monday night.
Trump maintained his support for Putin and said it was a “good thing” for the Russian leader to call him “very talented,” among other things:
“He said, ‘Trump is brilliant. He’s great. He’s leader. He’s the leader of the parties.’ And he said nice things. … All of a sudden I’m hearing things like, ‘Oh isn’t it terrible that Putin is saying that,'” Trump recalled. “That’s not terrible. That’s good. That’s like a good thing — not a bad thing.”
During the speech, Trump reiterated the idea that he and Putin could work together to “knock the living hell out of ISIS.” He also addressed allegations that Putin killed journalists. Trump said if they were true, it would be despicable, but nobody has shown facts that they happen:
“They said he’s killed reporters. And I don’t like that. I’m totally against that. And by the way, I hate some of these people. But I would never kill them. I hate them,” Trump joked as his supporters cheered and laughed in approval. “These people — honestly, I’ll be honest, I’ll be honest — I would never kill them. I would never do that.”
