Wall Street Journal: Putin Says Trump Is Front-Runner in U.S. Presidential Race

Russian president welcomes Donald Trump’s calls for Washington to improve relations with Moscow

MOSCOW—Russian President Vladimir Putin described Donald Trump as the “absolute front-runner” in the U.S. presidential campaign and a colorful and talented person, cheering the American real estate mogul’s calls to improve U.S.-Russian relations.

Mr. Putin made the comments Thursday after his annual news conference, during which he vowed to work with any leader U.S. voters elect. Afterward, the Russian president praised Mr. Trump, even as he cautioned it wasn’t Russia’s place to judge American candidates.

WNU Editor: President Putin has a few interesting personal characteristics .... one of them is that he  respects billionaires. In Russia .... the mega-rich know that if they do not get involved in politics, they will enjoy Putin's respect .... and heaven helps those billionaires who oppose him. And abroad .... he loves to cultivate those relationships .... former Italian PM and billionaire Silvio Berlusconi is one of his closest friends.
