Trump Continues to Embrace Putin
Trump, basking in the glow of a Putin compliment, flat-out endorsed Putin’s iron-fist methods of control during a Friday morning interview on MSNBC’s Morning Joe.
Trump told Cosby that, as president, he’d have a better relationship with Russian Federation.
“I want to stress that these are by far not all of our capabilities”, Putin said.
Trump continued, “I think our country does plenty of killing also, Joe”. There’s also rampant corruption – and, as U.S. News and World Report noted in July, the most recent poll conducted in the country is subject to a lot of reasons to suspect that his popularity numbers are inflated. “You obviously condemn Vladimir Putin killing journalists and political opponents, right?”

Turkey and Western allies such as the United States have supported Syrian rebel groups seeking to overthrow the Syrian president, whom Russian Federation has backed. “At least he’s a leader, you know, unlike what we have in this country”.
Nearly immediately, Republican rival and former Florida governor Jeb Bush blasted Trump on Twitter, writing, “A true freedom-loving conservative wouldn’t be flattered by praise from a despot like Putin”.
President Vladimir Putin has said that Russia’s armed forces have not utilized their full capability in Syria and would use “more military means” there if necessary.
Some 20 foreign ministers gathered Friday for the latest conference on Syria’s civil war, hopeful about arranging a cease-fire and launching peace negotiations in the new year.
