I will attempt a good faith response here. Have you considered the possibility that there is a non-zero amount of issues, where interests of US and Russia are aligned? Do you think you could name one such issue? I am asking mostly to see if you can take consider the question before you answer reflexively.
But Trump went a bit further here - praising Putin, making Putin out to be the victim and seemingly mocking those who see Russia as the bad guy .
Also, the fact he parroted many of the Kremlin talking points speaks for itself.
Interests of the US? More like the intersts of Putin's Russia.
