MSNBC Montage: Trump’s History of Praising Putin

‘I don’t know the gentleman, I hope we have a fantastic relationship’

RUSH EXCERPT: 
TRUMP: "If Putin likes Donald Trump, I consider that an asset. Not a liability. We have a horrible relationship with Russia. As far as again, Putin and Russia, I don’t say good, bad or indifferent. I don’t know the gentleman. I hope we have a fantastic relationship. That’s possible and it is also possible we won’t. President Putin called me up very nicely to congratulate me on the win of the election. And probably Putin said, you know, he’s sitting behind his zpeks he’s saying, you know, I see what’s going on in the United States. I follow it closely. It will be impossible for President Trump to get along with Russia because of all the punish he has with this fake story. Probably Putin assumes he won’t be able to make deal with me because it is politically unpopular. We’re not getting lane with Russia at all. We may be at an all time low with Russia. I’ll see with Putin, it would be fantastic if we got along with Putin and with Russia."
