Donald Trump on Friday had a predictable reaction to Vladimir Putin’s announcement that he will not retaliate against the United States for ejecting Russian diplomats, calling the President of the Russian Federation “very smart.”

Great move on delay (by V. Putin) - I always knew he was very smart!

Trump not only tweeted his praise of Putin, but he also pinned the tweet to his profile, meaning it’s the first thing people will see when they visit the president-elect’s Twitter feed. Notably, the Russian Embassy also retweeted Trump’s reverence for a foreign adversary.

The reaction on social media was swift and dumbfounded, with many expressing outrage over the incoming president siding with a foreign country over the nation’s current president.

US imposes sanctions on Russia based US intelligence; Trump sides with Putin over country. Beyond chilling. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/814919370711461890 …

11. Crooked Hillary!

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. Hey wait, surely this is better than a mature, intelligent, learned woman who had

a private server, right?

Does make you want to run into the street screaming.

[gordianot]

3. Be gone 2016 but 2017 will be worse.

[bdamomma]

17. oh yea it will

unless we get VERY LOUD, and put this POS in his place. He does step back and we have the numbers.

He is such a fool and a disgrace let him move to Russia and they can continue this love fest.

[gordianot]

25. Do you get the feeling that there may be powerful people that hate him....

With more vigor than liberals, Democrats, people who despise his demagoguery. I think there is the storm of storms coming,

[jimlup]

4. It would be funny if it were not

both disgraceful and worrisome.

Come January 20th, maybe we should all start learning Russian...

[Buns_of_Fire]

5. Geez, get a room, you two!

(And don't forget the Tic Tacs, Donnie!)

[Cha]

20. Winner!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

31. They've got one

[Takket]

6. Putin must laugh himself to sleep every night

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. Might as well just give Putin the keys to the White House.

He could call it Kremlin West and stay there whenever he wants a free BJ from Trump - since Trump will be living in his faux-Baroque-whorehouse apartment in NYC, at great cost to both the US Treasury and NYC. He'll just fly down to DC whenever he's commanded to service his master.

Come to think of it, why not just annex the US to Russia? No need for military involvement; Trump can be the figurehead governor; and those of us who don't end up in a gulag somewhere in Idaho can get cheap vodka.

Jesus H. Christ, can you believe this shit?

[ailsagirl]

12. "Jesus H. Christ, can you believe this...??"

I was hoping that we had somehow misjudged him and he really isn't the loose cannon he seemed to be.

Nice try.

Whole new vistas of terror are opening up and it's getting too much for me to even come to DU.

Perhaps I need a respite.

[ailsagirl]

10. +100000

[SCVDem]

13. I'm over 60

They are going to kill any retirement I possibly could have.

Why don't they legalize euthanasia and have Palin run the death panels?

This USMC vet is not hanging around for this finale.

The right wing has killed my America.

Great again? Fuck You!

[ffr]

15. I'm with you. This is over the top. Where do we go to get off this rollercoaster?

Quick, someone invent a time machine so we can go back to October 27th, to set James Comey straight on his Hatch Act violation.

OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG! OMG!

[world wide wally]

14. Will the USA be siding with Putin when he said he invades Sweeden?

Think about t that all you phony ass patriots.
That's the side you want to be on?

[pangaia]

24. Those phony ass patriots don't even know where Sweden is.

[mountain grammy]

16. Is putin invited to the inaugural?

[keithbvadu2]

23. Two inaugural balls --- Putin invited Trump

"Organizers have announced that Donald Trump will attend two inaugural balls during his first week in office.
One in Washington, D.C. and then, of course, the real one in Moscow."

---Seth Meyers

[Trust Buster]

18. This just in: Republicans now in favor of apology tours.

[Volaris]

19. Lol..IOKIYAR, I suppose.

[perdita9]

21. Who hates America?

It seems, as a liberal, conservatives are always accusing me of hating my country. At least I've never sided with Putin on any issue.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

22. Trump is preparing the Lincoln Bedroom for Putin to live in

and is going to transform the FLOTUS offices into Kremlin West.

[smirkymonkey]

26. Are we in the Twilight Zone?

Because it certainly seems that way to me.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

27. Yup.

[smirkymonkey]

28. Scary, isn't it?

[True_Blue]

32. Lol!

[RiverStone]

30. Even more amazing is tRump seems to think this is OK?

I can't fathom at least a small handful of rethuglicans will say NO.

The dude truly cannot see the reality of his actions.
