Trump calls Putin to thank him for praise of U.S. economy
WASHINGTON — Russian President Vladimir Putin had some kind words for President Trump's handling of the U.S. economy on Thursday — so Trump called Putin to personally thank him.The two sides sent out only bare-bones summaries of the afternoon phone call, but the White House version of the call noted that Trump "thanked President Putin for acknowledging America’s strong economic performance" earlier in the day.
In his annual freewheeling press conference Thursday, Putin remarked on the booming U.S. stock market — a regular Trump talking point — and said it was a sign that investors "trust in what President Trump has been doing in this field."
The Russian account said Trump initiated the phone call.

We live in a time in which decent and otherwise sensible people are surrendering too easily to the hectoring of morons or extremists.

What a gullible doofus. All you have to do is shmooz Trump a little and he'll think you're really a buddy or a supporter. Make a narcissist feel like he's really special and you can get anything you want. Remember that swell first cabinet meeting?
Putin is playing him like a violin.

Trump also thanked Putin profusely for not releasing the pictures and videos of his escapades at the Moscow Ritz Carlton hotel.
