Morell on Trump: ‘Absolutely I Think Putin Sees Him as an Unwitting Agent’

‘He’s a trained intelligence officer — he knows how to play to people’

MORELL: "I’m not being facetious at all. I think Vladimir Putin considers him an unwitting agent. That’s something who does what you want them to do without them knowing you’re doing it on their behalf. Putin played to Trump by telling Trump what he wanted to hear, which is I’m a great guy, I’m smarter than anybody else, I’m a great person. Putin played to that. He’s a trained intelligence officer. He knows how to play to people. What was the result? Donald Trump in turn praising Vladimir Putin."
