US presidential candidate Donald Trump lavished praise on Russian President Vladimir Putin, returning the compliments paid one day earlier by the Russian strongman to the billionaire builder.

Trump said: “He’s running his country and at least he’s a leader, unlike what we have in this country,” Trump said on MSNBC’s “Morning Joe.”

Putin went public with their mutual man crush by declaring Thursday that the White House hopeful was “a bright and talented” individual.
