Smart guy Putin

 On Putin “The smartest one gets to the top. That didn’t work so well recently in our country. But they ask me, ‘Is Putin smart?’ Yes, Putin was smart. And I actually thought he was going to be negotiating. I said, ‘That’s a hell of a way to negotiate, put 200,000 soldiers on the border.’”

“I’d say that’s pretty smart. He’s taking over a country – really a vast, vast location, a great piece of land with a lot of people, and just walking right in.”

#Felon-elect wants to do likewise to Greenland and Panama. Maybe even Canada if they continue to refuse becoming USA's 51st state.

President for Life

 “Think of President Xi. Central casting, brilliant guy. You know, when I say he’s brilliant, everyone says, ‘Oh that’s terrible',

“Well, he runs 1.4 billion people with an iron fist. Smart, brilliant, everything perfect. There’s nobody in Hollywood like this guy.”

.

“He’s now president for life, president for life. And he’s great, And look, he was able to do that. I think it’s great. Maybe we’ll have to give that a shot someday,” March 3, 2018

He also praised Putin for giving himself a third term. If he had won in 2020, he would have run again in 2024. Or simply declared himself President for Life. Or, as I often said, "King." In order to pass his throne down to his sons and daughter. Now he suggests Don Jr for 2028, to create a dump dynasty. 

Putin lies

"I got to know him very well because we were both on '60 Minutes,' we were stablemates, and we did very well that night," Trump

“I own the Miss Universe. I was in Russia, I was in Moscow recently. I spoke indirectly and directly with President Putin, who could not have been nicer. And we had a tremendous success." Trump

"I never met Putin -- I don't know who Putin is." Trump

So did he or did he not know Putin?

Short term memory loss evident in 2015? Or just lies?
