Come and meet me and let’s see which one is more feminine. Or a stronger Trump supporter.

I see your level of maturity is only matched by your feminine sensibilities. Also see post #39.

I thought Karl Rove was once the “magnificent bastard” around here. Now he is just “canned ham”.

Trump could have said nothing and he still would have been misquoted and attacked by the media and their demonkrap party masters.

Let’s face it, Trump the non-politician, never went to politician grooming school to learn how to say the right thing that is devoid of any substance, ... to lie and have people who know it’s a lie but accept it b/c it helps them avoid the truth and deal with harsh reality.

I don’t care if the demonkraps and the media complain or display their rabid, visceral hatred for him. Trump is Trump, refreshing in that he states the obvious, even if inartfully at times. Truth hurts. What they did to him (really the American people represented by him) is politically unforgivable.

It would have been a good moment for Trump to call Putin an evil SOB instead.

People are dying. You’d think just maybe the press could put aside the spin just once, instead of generating fake news with a misleading lede. But no, that would be too much for these wretched cretins.

Stating Putin is smart is not “praising” him. “Smart” and “good” are not synonymous terms. If Trump said Putin was doing great things with the Ukraine - that would be praising him. But he said nothing of the sort.

More lies from the press.

Yeah, well it’s pretty obvious the MSM are much more afraid of Donald Trump than they are of Russian invading other countries.

Trump’s sarcasm does not compute to the media.

Exactly..and with the way Trump handled Putin, ZERO war, ZERO invasion..so perhaps instead of these libtards trashing Trump, perhaps they can learn something about how he conducts himself, but they wont..because all that matters to them is climate change

It’s fake news but if President Trump would rely on some talented advisors he could have made a much more effective statement.

That is an interesting post. With regard to a previous different article criticizing Trump for a comment on the same point, you said:
"That’s a big misrepresentation of his point which is made clear at the end of the article."

And you were correct, at the end of that article: "Trump...said if he had remained president, Putin would never have attempted something like this. It never would have happened with us. Had I been in office, not even thinkable," Trump said. "You know what the response was from Biden? He didn't have a response."

In this later article Trump is reported as saying, "...Putin's smart.' I mean, he's taken over a country for $2 worth of sanctions. I'd say that's pretty smart." Yet you criticize his advisors.

What am I missing? Trump is being consistent, and his advisors cannot be held responsible for how a progressive MSM reports on him.

The comments may be correct, but they are tone deaf. Since you’re also tone deaf, you don’t see it, but most people do.
This is why we are stuck with Biden.

He did NOT "praise" Putin. He acknowledged the shrewdness of an opponent.

The Post absolutely KNOWS that's true, but hey are in the disinformation business, and they believe in taqiyya to support their political cult.
