Putin: Trump ‘clever,’ will understand new responsiblities
Vladimir Putin spoke to NTV TV.
Click here for reuse options!Putin has spoken previously of his hope that Trump will help restore U.S.-Russia relations, and analysts said he was unlikely to want to dial up anti-Western rhetoric before Trump’s inauguration in January.
“Trump was an entrepreneur and a businessman. He is already a statesman, he is the head of the United States of America, one of the world’s leading countries,” NTV quoted Putin as saying in the interview on www.ntv.ru on Sunday.
“Because he achieved success in business, it suggests that he is a clever man. And if (he is) a clever man, then he will fully and quite quickly understand another level of responsibility. We assume that he will be acting from these positions,” Putin said.

Based on a review of the last 500 days, there is no indication he will be acting from any level of responsibility.

The thin skinned orange man-child is in no way a clever man.
Putin knows the best way to manipulate an easy mark is with false praise.

Putin is former KGB and knows how to manipulate the ego of insecure narcissists. Rest assured that the Orange Molester values the opinion of Putin more than he does his responsibility to America. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/89f27ad072a508ce199fc049cd0218a7d023bd0414b34f2e30bdad6e0e1423cd.jpg

I don’t see how Putin can be seen as a credible source of anything but rigged elections.

Putin is openly excited by the prospect of facing off against an ignorant reality star whom he could easily dominate in the international pecking order.

For Putin, “responsible decisions” for Trump would include killing off NATO and kissing Vlad’s butt.
‘Shrewd, devious, and greedy’ may be valuable attributes when you’re a real estate mogul … or the despotic leader of Russia, but they are not the best traits to have when serving as POTUS.
