Although President Trump has not publicly spoken or replied to Putin’s praise, many Americans weighed in with their feedback.
Readers of The Hill moreover shared their thoughts as well:
”Putin got his monies worth installing Trump in the White House.”
”Putin’s trolling the media and hyper-partisans in the U.S.”
The Russian President’s lauding of Trump comes after over a year of the probe into alleged Russian interference in the 2016 election. Towards the end of last month, President Trump actually called for the conclusion of the investigation. Earlier this month, the Commander-in-Chief also blasted the leak of questions regarding the ongoing Russia probe.
