Trump just took to Twitter to praise Russian President Vladimir Putin for delaying his retaliatory actions over Obama’s sanctions yesterday.
Trump tweets “Great move on delay (by V. Putin) – I always knew he was very smart!”:

As we saw over the course of the election, Trump will say nice things about people who show him deference, no matter what he’s said about them before.
I guess Putin is no different.
