@GaryMarcus Maybe it’s cognitive dissonance in both directions. Trump has a way of doing that. I try to remain objective and certainly don’t like many things that Trump says, but this reads to me like a typical shtick he runs and not professing adoration of Putin. And he likely does it…

@KettlebellDan I see zero evidence that it was a bit, and plenty of prior evidence that he admires Putin.

@GaryMarcus Then you have seen this wry, sarcastic humor before. You could argue that he didn’t pull of the bit, but not that it wasn’t a bit.

Let me guess, he was kidding about this, too?

No. There’s no knowing smile or comic timing. He’s an incoherent old man who has lost track of whose side he is even supposed to be on.

The tone is critical and aims to provide evidence to counter another user's perspective. The intent appears to be to challenge the notion that Trump's comments were merely a 'bit' or sarcastic humor, suggesting instead that they reflect genuine admiration for Putin.
