Russian president Vladimir Putin has endorsed the controversial candidate He described Donald Trump as 'outstanding' and 'unquestionably talented' Putin was holding an annual press conference from the Kremlin in Moscow The Russian strongman also accused Turkey of currying U.S. favour After staring down months of opposition and criticism, U.S. Presidential hopeful Donald Trump has finally received a rare piece of ringing, unequivocal support.

Unfortunately, it comes from the provocative and confrontational Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Today Putin offered his thoughts on the Republican party nomination for the White House, and offered nothing but praise for the billionaire businessman. He said: 'He is a very outstanding man, unquestionably talented. He is the absolute leader of the presidential race.'

Putin went on to describe him as 'flamboyant', and claiming Trump wants to move to a 'deeper level' of relations with Russia, added: 'How can we not welcome it? Of course we welcome it.'

Trump support is based on bluster and saying what people want to hear.

Facts and history are irrelevant.

When is the Treason party and the GOP-E (same thing) going to wake up to the fact that the people of the USA are currently rebelling against THEM? It’s amazing to me how in the dark they are about that, they are in complete denial as if they think the people LOVE traitors. NOT.

“Please wake up, and help others to do so by sending them this post (or recommending “Adios America” to them). It really is THAT important.”

I have had the facts you mention hit me in the face in the past few days. It’s going to be hard to get American’s minds to comprehend that this election isn’t going to be decided by Americans alone. Obama has seen to that.

considering Putin is more popular than Obama, I don’t think so...

I almost can envision The USA and Russia becoming partners in getting rid of the muzzie terrorists, and returning to the time when the USA and Russia effectively controlled the planet.

The end of the cold war was the beginning of the muzzie war

Unfortunately one is required as many in America have proven themselves incapable of self government. On both (yea right...both...there is one) side of the aisle.

People who like and support Trump usually like and support Putin. It’s just a fact.

Neutal. Neither help nor hurt. It just reveals positions. I don’t think Putin is a sucker, so he must know he is getting played by the businessman. But when everyone else hates you, that’s what you do.

Well... I think Putin got kind of tired of toying around with the stuffed mouse that is our dear Barack Obama. Victories over paper tigers are scarcely satisfying.

I think he actually wants someone respectable at the helm in the USA. This is a smaller world than we think, and the USA matters to Russia.

I wouldn’t be surprised to see him say something nice about Cruz, too.

How about Putin RESPECTS Trump, instead of “endorses” him.

Putin is in no position to “endorse” any American candidate, but power respects power and the pantywaists in the White Hut now is neither, liked, feared, trusted, no respected by world powers.

Seems to me that being respected by world powers, even before the election, says a lot about Trumps ability to deal with foreign relations.

The libs and the media are scraping the bottom of the barrel with their fingernails to get a negative angle on Trump, and coming up with nothing.

Putin looking forward to forging a safer world with competent tough US president.

Can you imagine being Putin and having to spend any time in the same room with the insufferable Obama?

The more that folks like Haley Barbour and Karl Rove despise Trump, the more I like him.

Putin is not the proper descriptive because he is Russian and therefore comes with baggage

More correctly the descriptive should be charismatic.

A more proper example would be Teddy Roosevelt who was active to the point of seeming to be ADD in today speak. Of course Teddy is not a good example because nobody knows who he is or what he accomplished.
