Donald Trump thinks he’d have a friend in Russia — its leader, Vladimir Putin.
“I think I’d get along very well with Vladimir Putin. I just think so. People say, ‘What do you mean?’ I think I would get along well with him,” Trump, the 2016 Republican candidate, told the press Thursday.
Trump was in Glasgow, Scotland, attending the Women’s British Open.
“He hates Obama, Obama hates him. We have unbelievably bad relationships,” Trump said. “Hillary Clinton was secretary of state. She was the worst secretary of state in the history of our country. The world blew apart during her reign. Now she wants to be president.”
Watch Trump’s comments from NBC:
This is all. So. Beautiful.
What will the base make of this?
What is it with the right’s love affair with Putin, the manly man who takes what he wants and doesn’t wear mom jeans? This is their ideal leader? A dictator?
Trump has already looked in Putin’s eyes and has found him trustworthy. Sarah is still busy looking at Putin’s head in Alaskan sky.
I’m sure the Donald would get along great with Putin. But he’d probably have to do some work on his pecs and abs before the feeling would be mutual.
