FOX News: Syria’s Assad says Trump’s transparency makes him ‘best American president’ ever

Syrian President Bashar Assad says he thinks Donald Trump is the "best American president" ever – because he’s the "most transparent."

The embattled ruler’s comments come as U.S. troops returned to eastern Syria to protect oil fields the Pentagon does not want to see fall back into the Islamic State’s hands.

“When it comes to Trump you may ask me a question and I’ll give you an answer which might seem strange. I tell you he’s the best American president,” Assad said, according to a translation. “Why? Not because his policies are good, but because he is the most transparent president.”
