Russian President Vladimir Putin in a new interview praised President Trump as a "talented" person, saying that despite not being a career politician Trump knew how to relate to voters.
“Mr. Trump is not a career politician," Putin told The Financial Times. "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.”
The comments from Putin came in an interview with The Financial Times ahead of the Group of 20 (G-20) summit in Osaka, Japan — an event where the Russian president is expected to meet with Trump. The newspaper noted that Putin was polite when discussing Trump, despite being critical of the United States as a whole. Putin reportedly referred to Trump as "Donald" several times in the interview.
He also praised Trump's initiative to enforce stricter immigration policies along the U.S.-Mexico border while arguing that the "liberal idea" had "outlived its purpose."
“This liberal idea presupposes that nothing needs to be done. That migrants can kill, plunder and rape with impunity because their rights as migrants have to be protected," he said. “Every crime must have its punishment. The liberal idea has become obsolete."
Putin also weighed in on former special counsel Robert Mueller's report, dismissing conclusions by the U.S. intelligence community that Moscow interfered in the 2016 presidential election.

See, see! I knew it! IMMMPPPEEAACCCHHHH!!!!
I’ll be damned. Putin is trolling too. He must have read Trump’s books and tweets.
Even the bad guys can be right some of the time!LOL
It always feels funny, when I find myself agreeing with this KGB dude.
But there it is.
Could this be the latest episode of “The Apprentice”? DJT should tweet “even Vlad knows”.
Communist Party heads are exploding.
You’d think Putin is smart enough to understand the one unpardonable sin for a politician is to follow through on campaign promises, at least for Republicans. That’s why the GOP fought him every step of the way.
And the GOP are still fighting him right up to this minute and continuing.
These are from shortly after Putin's first meeting with our President.
“This liberal idea presupposes that nothing needs to be done. That migrants can kill, plunder and rape with impunity because their rights as migrants have to be protected,” he said. “Every crime must have its punishment. The liberal idea has become obsolete.”...
I WOULD LOVE to hear republicans besides Trump say that!!!
I KNOW what this guy is, and I would not like to be his adversary in Russia...or many other countries for that matter where you can get dead without much hubbub.
But he NAILED the illegal problem very well.
Liberal heads are EXPLODING everywhere right now!!!
Trump and Putin are in cahoots!!!
Not sure what a cahoot is by the way.
It is a hoot with ca in front/
ROFL!!!!!!!!!!
You’re a GENIUS!!!!! :)
I’ll come on you know what being in cahoots means! Just say COLLOSION.
Cahoot = partnership.
Boy oh Boy can you see the liberal heads exploding!!! COLLUSION!!!
For grand master trolling, the tweet should be:
"Should I tell Vlad I'll have more "Flexibility"
after I destroy the deep state?"
;-)
Putin’s short but he’s not stupid. Yank everyone’s chain and see what falls out. Seems DJT plays the game too.
I like it.
