Source: abc News

Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump seems to have a new fan in his corner –- Vladimir Putin -- an the real estate mogul thinks it was a "great honor" to get compliments from the Russian leader ...

Trump tells ABC News in a statement that “it is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond.”

"I have always felt that Russia and the United States should be able to work well with each other towards defeating terrorism and restoring world peace, not to mention trade and all of the other benefits derived from mutual respect,” Trump’s statement continued.

Putin and Trump should have run off on who is the most "highly respected" @$#%&* Winner takes gall.

1. But how will Trump respond when Putin turns on him?

I'd find this whole thing amusing if I didn't have to live on this planet.

2. An urgent Summit in Vegas,

personally selected translators, and inexplicable luck on the tables.

3. Will THIS finally sink him?

What an idiot!

4. From the link you provided, denem

"He wants to move to a different level of relations, to more solid, deeper relations with Russia and how can Russia not welcome that – we welcome that.”

Can this kind of aspiration from Russia towards our country given the past two decades or so - regardless of the person of focus - be all that bad for our current world?

As well, imagine Don and Melania sitting next to Vlad and his mystery lady at a hockey game when neither country is bombing others in the future... would it really be a matter of "Winner takes gall"?

6. That was Putin's comment, reported earlier in LBN

I was posting Trumps reply. I took particular note of this:-

it is always a great honor to be so nicely complimented by a man so highly respected within his own country and beyond.

No doubt Trump considers himself 'a man so highly respected' as well.

12. Ok... understanding now and thank you denem!

Well... feeling they're all megalomaniacs at the "top"... regardless, hoping there will less death and destruction worldwide in these next years.

5. Next he will say he looked into Putin's eyes and saw his soul

and will start calling him "Pooty-Poot."

7. Get a Room, Guys!

At the asylum!

8. And then they both took off their shirts.

I can hear Jon Stewart's New Jersey accent doing Chump.

14. That WOULD be a sight! Thank you for making me laugh this eve!

9. Putin provided the missile that the rebel forces or Russian troops used to shoot down

Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over the Ukraine. BTW Putin was head of the KGB too.

13. "Putin provided the missile that the rebel forces or Russian troops used to shoot..."

"Putin provided the missile that the rebel forces or Russian troops used to shoot down Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 over the Ukraine"

Botany, will you please provide some uncontested, newsworthy links of this contention other than the continuously revised "Wikipedia" entity? I will certainly consider your claim and thank you.

Anyway, regarding, "BTW Putin was head of the KGB too," it's the case that Bush 1, prior to his Presidency, headed up our "KGB", i.e. CIA. So?

In the face of Russia's S-400s (>3km/sec) now in Syria, we're thankful for John Kerry's hard work in Moscow this past week because I and my partner wish for some peace and the end to so much bloodletting in the Middle East over these last 20+ years.

but we know what you really think of him. SAME SAME i THINK.

15. Kim Jong-un

Next to endorse Donald Trump. Just for fun, it would be a hoot to hear what his supporters have to say about this move. Sounds like the basis for an Onion article.

17. A Trump and Putin Love Fest. What could go wrong?

[yellowcanine]

18. Makes me nostalgic for the Ribbentrop-Molotov Pact

19. No doubt Ol' Rooty Poot has America's best interests at heart.

I'm sure he would like to see President Trump make America great again.

Or maybe Ol' Pooty wants to see America fall apart like the USSR.
