The Trump-Putin Lovefest Continues



The Hill: Trump flaunts mutual fandom with Putin

Repubican presidential front-runner Donald Trump on Friday continued to flaunt his endorsement from Russian President Vladimir Putin, pointing to the oligarch's popularity in his home nation.

"He's a strong leader, he's a powerful leader. He's represented his country," Trump said on MSNBC's "Morning Joe,” though he conceded that Putin might run his own polling.

Update: The disgraceful bromance between Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin (Jonathan Capehart, Washington Post).

WNU Editor: Poor "Morning Joe" .... like much of the American media they have a view of the world that much of the world does not share, and when someone like Donald Trump shows up and expresses some of it .... all that they can do is give a stunned look. The key question is .... what does the American electorate think .... and what is their world view. I guess we are going to find that out in the next few months. On a side note .... and more evidence that the U.S. election cycle is now in full swing .... the headline on this YouTube video is misleading .... Donald Trump does not defend Putin murdering journalists (0:57 mark of the video).

Very interesting indeed! On the 28th Trump was suppose to go to Israel. The trip was quickly cancelled due to 'other' pressing issues. Now Putin somewhat endorses Trump. Hmmmm. I will be curious to know if Trump goes to Israel soon or if he will wait until he becomes President (his words). These next few weeks will be very interesting in our geo-political world.
