Trump Refuses to Call Putin a Foe: 'I Really Can't Say Right Now'

don't you all feel like saying cut the shit talk, and just resign. What a dickhead. Keep on BS'ing your 40% but you won't BS us!!!

I hate the fucking whatever he is. I hope he gets greeted by many protesters and scares the shit out of him.

snip of article:

PRESS: Is Putin a friend or foe?

TRUMP: “Uh, I really can’t say right now. As far as I’m concerned, a competitor. A competitor.”
