Putin praises Trump, says US political system eating itselfBy Vladimir Isachenkov?|?AP March 7 at 11:50 AM
MOSCOW Russian President Vladimir Putin lavished praise on President Donald Trump on Wednesday, but added that he was sorely disappointed with the U.S. political system, saying that it has been eating itself up.
Speaking in an interview with the Russian state television, Putin described Trump as a great communicator.
I have no disappointment at all, Putin said when asked about the U.S. president. Moreover, on a personal level he made a very good impression on me.
The two leaders met on the sidelines of international summits last year. Putin praised Trump as a balanced man, who easily gets into the gist of various issues and listens to his interlocutor.
Its possible to negotiate with him, to search for compromises, Putin added.

Lavish him with praise, use words like "balanced" to counter the madman persona the world knows -- brilliant.

Great investment for Putin, no doubt about it!
