What exactly did Donald Trump mean when he said Vladimir Putin is a “better leader” than President Obama and “is doing a better job”?

Does he mean Russia is a better country? That it has a stronger economy? A fairer society? Better government? Or is more respected and admired around the world?

Or does he mean Putin is “stronger” than Obama? Because Obama abides by the Constitution and must deal with a Congress controlled by his political opponents, while Putin is a self-appointed dictator who imprisons, intimidates and assassinates his political opponents?

Why don’t we ask the Russians to hack Trump’s tax returns? Then we’ll see what he’s hiding. Deals with the Russian government, maybe?

Is Putin funneling rubles to Trump?
