Trump calls Putin to congratulate him on re-election victory
[PRESSTV] US President Donald Trump...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... has said he spoke to Vladimir Putin  ...President-for-Life of Russia. He gets along well with other presidents for life. He is credited with bringing political stability and re-establishing something like the rule of law, which occasionally results in somebody dropping dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substance. Under Putin, a new group of business magnates controlling significant swathes of Russia's economy has emerged, all of whom have close personal ties to him. The old bunch, without close personal ties to Putin, are in jail or in exile or dead from poisoning by polonium or other interesting substances...over the phone to congratulate the Russian president on his re-election victory, and they discussed the possibility of a meeting in the near future. "I had a call with President Putin and congratulated him on the victory, his electoral victory," Trump said on Tuesday, adding that they "will probably get together in the not-too-distant future." Trump made the phone call two days after Putin won the election on Sunday. The call also came hours after the Kremlin said it did not regard Trump’s failure to congratulate Putin as an unfriendly act. Putin, who has been president or prime minister since 1999, won nearly 77 percent of the vote in Sunday’s presidential election. In his victory message, Putin said he was willing to resolve differences with the West, particularly in regard to the intensifying arms race. Posted by: Fred 2018-03-21 |
