Donald Trump on Friday had a predictable reaction to Vladimir Putins 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 its the first thing people will see when they visit the president-elects Twitter feed. Notably, the Russian Embassy also retweeted Trumps 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 nations current president.

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

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

(115,576 posts)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?

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.
