Russian President Vladimir Putin has returned President Trump’s favor of downplaying Russian meddling by praising him as a “talented” person who won in 2016 because he was merely perceptive to changes in the U.S.
“Mr. Trump is not a career politician,” Putin told the Financial Times in an interview that published Thursday. “I do not accept many of his methods when it comes to addressing problems. But do you know what I think? I think that he is a talented person. He knows very well what his voters expect from him.”
According to the FT, Putin was “studiously polite” in his remarks about Trump and referred to the President as “Donald” throughout the interview.
“Russia has been accused, and, strange as it may seem, it is still being accused … of alleged interference in the US election,” he said. “What happened in reality? Mr. Trump looked into his opponents’ attitude to him and saw changes in American society, and he took advantage of this.”
Trump is under fire back home for making light of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russian election meddling findings abroad. During a sit-down with Putin on Friday, Trump jokingly warned Putin not to “meddle” in the 2020 election.
Putin: “My boy did it all by himself”.
That will puff Trump up so hugely big that his fat ass won’t fit back in AF1. They’ll have to use a shipping container–it’s the only way.
Cut the bullshit, Vlad. We have the receipts. The only people who would believe you are the stupid and gullible. Oh wait…dang.
With Putin it’s all about national interests and preservation of Russia as a world leader. Vlad is so much more of a patriot to his country than Trump is with ours; nothing less than a treasonous and criminally corrupt traitor.
Republican eyes are smiling.
Their hero, Putin, and his boy toy,Trump, made a funny.
