Morphine Prince 109,650 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Talking to reporters while leaving the stage following his annual press conference, Putin characterized the Republican front-runner as "the absolute leader of the presidential race." "He is a bright and talented person without any doubt," Putin said, according to the TASS news agency. Putin referenced Trump's reported desire "to reach another, deeper level of relations" with Russia. "What else can we do but to welcome it? Certainly, we welcome it," he said.

Didymus 34,380 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Hopefully this will put some sense into Trump's supporters. lol Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoshLife 17,019 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Apparently a different translation said Putin called Trump "flamboyant," rather than "bright." So who knows. But wouldn't it be kind of funny if everything Trump said about making American "win again" was true, and every world leader actually respected him due to his business acumen? We live in strange enough times... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They'll say Trump is doing what Obama has failed to do. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morphine Prince 109,650 Posted December 17, 2015 Author Share Posted December 17, 2015 Just now, Didymus said: Don't Americans hate Putin? Umm Putin doesn't have a good reputation here or in Europe, I think. Still, Trump supporters might just think Trump is such a great leader that even our "enemies" are willing to work with him.

Most that do I would say don't know why they hate him, but considering the ignorance and fear-based xenophobia that has a grip on many trump supporters, im sure they'd forget why they hate him if Trump was involved 私自身もこの世の中も誰もかれもが, どんなに華やかな人生でも, どんなに悲惨な人生でも, いつかは変貌し, 破壊され、消滅してしまう. すべてがもともとこの世に存在しない一瞬の幻想なのだから Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luiz 4,253 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 i'm guessing putin knows trump is a dolt on foreign policy and in negotiations with trump, putin would swallow him whole. sneaky putin I disapprove of what you say, but will defend to the death your right to say it.

Voltaire 4,531 Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 56 minutes ago, Didymus said: Don't Americans hate Putin? Oh this is a GREAT question. Americans hate Putin the way they hate Trump: The majority don't like him, the informed despise him, BUT: there is a percentage of people who think he has "the balls to do what it takes" and like his militarism. The same percentage of people that are attracted to strong-arm-statement-Trump, are similarly attracted to Putin, and are the type of people that cheer when a politician says "lets turn the sands of the middle east into a sheet of glass a thousand bombs at a time".
