Trump: Only 'Stupid' People Wouldn't Want Good Relationship With Russia

[DonViejo]

Donald Trump said Saturday that the U.S. should work to improve its relationship with Russia, one day after U.S. intelligence officials released a report concluding that Russia interfered in the presidential election in order to help secure his victory.

“Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing,” the President-elect wrote on Twitter. “Only ‘stupid’ [sic] people, or fools, would think that it is bad!”

Trump added that Russia would “respect” the U.S. more once he took office, and ideally both countries could “work together” to address global affairs.
