Donald Trump has said that as president he would get along with Vladimir Putin, and there's evidence that the Republican frontrunner's apparent fondness for the Russian strongman is being reciprocated.
Kremlin mouthpiece Konstantin Rykov said Wednesday in a Twitter post that Trump won the first Democratic presidential debate, held Tuesday in Las Vegas. In that tweet, Rykov linked to a Russian language, pro-Trump website with a Russian domain, www.Trump2016.ru, that he is likely behind. Until a few weeks ago, Rykov's Twitter home page featured Trump and his 2016 campaign slogan, "Make America Great Again."
Western sources who monitor Russian politics told the Washington Examiner that Rykov is a propagandist arm of the Putin government machine. "Rykov is considered to be one of the leading pro-Kremlin bloggers in Russia," said Michael McFaul, the former U.S. ambassador to Russia under President Obama who is now a senior fellow at the conservative Hoover Institution think tank. "As you can see from his Twitter feed, he is very active. And he loves Trump."

“———————Twitter post that Trump won the first Democratic presidential debate,”
Someone is confused.
.
Strength recognizes strength.
Not really. Trump DID win the Democrat Debate. His Twitterfest during it was what most people were paying attention to and he picked up nearly 200,000 new followers in a single day (now at 4.61 million total).
I think he was referring to Trump taking to “Twitter” during the debate, which may have lessened the viewership for CNN.:)
Maybe Putin recognizes he has a serious Muslim terrorist problem of his own and wishes for someone serious to be running the US Govt.
LOL
:)
Gotcha !!!!!!!!!!
I guess I’m not too sharp tonight. :-)
.
I wish them much Happiness.
If they want to swing that was Who Am I to Judge..them...as long as they don’t demand a Christian Wedding
Freegards!
Yes! That’s what’s being indirectly referenced in the article.
Of course Putin would rather be engaging with a President Trump. Vlad gets sickened whenever he has to talk our faggy president Obama. He is disgusted just being in his presence.
Another thing about Trump and Putin is they both do not touch alcohol.
It’s okay. You’re always sharp!
lol

I knew that about Trump but I did not know that about Putin. Interesting...
And I think Trump is smart enough not to worry about how Russia treats gays.
If President Trump allied with Putin together they could "Make Planet Earth Great Again." Why does half the world's Caucasian population have to be enemies with the other half?
“Not really. Trump DID win the Democrat Debate. His Twitterfest during it was what most people were paying attention to and he picked up nearly 200,000 new followers in a single day (now at 4.61 million total).”
Thanks to both of you for clearing this up for me.
