Vladimir Putin has revealed he and Donald Trump are on first name terms, as the Russian President spoke to the media during his four-hour, end-of-year news conference.
"This is how relations should be between people like us," Mr Putin said to reporters at the marathon annual event.
He praised Mr Trump's "accomplishments", saying: "I'm not the one to evaluate the (US) President's work. That needs to be done by the voters, the American people.
"(But) we are objectively seeing that there have been some major accomplishments, even in the short time he has been working.
"Look at how the markets have grown. This speaks to investors' trust in the American economy."
Putin also claimed that allegations that Russia tampered in the 2016 election are made up by the US media. (Perhaps forgetting that a number of Russian media outlets have confirmed that as well.)
Courtesy of Yahoo News:
"All of this has been invented, made up by people who are in opposition to President Trump with a view to shedding a negative light on what President Trump is doing " Putin said, translated from Russian, and going on to call it "nonsense."
Personally I'm just amazed he restrained himself from calling it "fake news," because you know he wanted to.
For his part as soon as he learned that his boyfriend and complimented him, Donald Trump gave him a ring.
Courtesy of USA Today:
Russian President Vladimir Putin had some kind words for President Trump's handling of the U.S. economy on Thursday — so Trump called Putin to personally thank him.
The two sides sent out only bare-bones summaries of the afternoon phone call, but the White House version of the call noted that Trump "thanked President Putin for acknowledging America’s strong economic performance" earlier in the day.
In his annual freewheeling press conference Thursday, Putin remarked on the booming U.S. stock market — a regular Trump talking point — and said it was a sign that investors "trust in what President Trump has been doing in this field."
Jesus, get a room already.
I heard a host on MSNBC today saying that Trump's consistent affection for Putin is "one of the greatest mysteries facing us right now." And that it "made no sense."
I beg to differ.
If somebody gifted you with the most powerful political office on the planet, wouldn't you be making goo goo eyes at them as well?
Putin is superior to Trump in so many ways - beginning w/physically. He could crush Trump in a second and has the background for doing so!
ReplyDeletePlus, if caught and tortured, Trump would squeal like a pig immediately where I doubt Putin would for a long period of time.
As a member of the majority of Americans, I have zero respect for Trump and do not recognize his horrid and nasty leadership! The FBI and other agencies do need to continue their investigation of him!
Putin is a pig and putz.
DeleteToss him down a mineshaft!

Both are lousy actors and liars. Both have mental issues. Both are freaks of nature. And both will be removed by the citizens of the world. Both are criminals and deserve nothing but shame. Trump says he loves the cops and he knows many? Really? how will he feel when they arrest him?
ReplyDeleteThere’s a picture of President Obama and Putin that is priceless. Mr. Obama is towering over Putin and giving Putin the evil-eye. Putin looks like he’s about to mess his pants. You won’t see that jackass in the White House we have now doing that.

Delete"You won’t see that jackass in the White House we have now doing that." You sure>"about to mess his pants."Pai was named to the post by his father in January 2017, who then nominated Pai again in March for a five-year term"
("Obama chose Pai because Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell suggested him.")
"a grain of truth: Obama did appoint Pai to a spot on the FCC back in 2012")
"By getting a basic fact wrong while trying to blame Obama, Trump opened up the internet to ridicule him mercilessly — and that's exactly what happened."
I like that pic. I smile every time I see it. I never realized pootang was only 5 foot 4.
DeletePutin appeared 'tiny' when next to President Obama! Remember that specific photo that was published of them where President Obama was looking 'down' at him and directly into his face/eyes? Great photo because Putin seemed intimidated as well he should have!
DeleteTrump doesn't begin to have the presence or style of President Obama!
And here I thought Eric was the dumb T.Rump brother?

Delete12:24-i love that photo. i don't think i ever saw President Obama look so mean and intimidating. and you know he 's a nice guy. i miss him. just because he was nice. no pussy grabbing, no money grubbing. only lies to keep us safe. i used to sleep in those good old days. please, please, please Obama did you give trump the wrong codes?
DeleteI guess I need to be constantly reminded of the economic legislation Drumpf has signed that did anything other than get out of the way of Obama's economy.

That is the question?
All his accomplishments.lol.he has no accomplishments,unless putin is counting playing golf and appointing a supreme court judge to a stolen seat!
ReplyDeleteThe economy is due to Obama
T.Rump cheats at golf, just as he cheats on his wives and in business.
Deleteputin reminds me of Dr. Evil in Austin Powers. Trump reminds me of Homer Simpson. It's a sad era here on earth and it's politics. Meanwhile global warming closes in on us as we argue. There is no hope but for the greedy.
