Caption: Trump Says Putin’s Preference of Biden Over Him Is a ‘Great Compliment’. During a recent interview with Russian state television, President Vladimir Putin said he'd prefer Biden to get reelected instead of Trump or another candidate becoming president, ABC News reports. "Biden, he's more experienced, more predictable, he's a politician of the old formation." "But we will work with any U.S. leader whom the American people trust." Vladimir Putin, to Russian state media. During a campaign rally in South Carolina on Feb. 14, Donald Trump referred to Putin's comments as a "great compliment". "President Putin of Russia has just given me a great compliment, actually." "He just said that he would much rather have Joe Biden as president than Trump. Now that's a compliment. And of course, he would say that.", According to the former president, Putin would prefer Biden since Trump hindered Russia's interests, particularly when it came to the development of Nord Stream 2. "I stopped Nord Stream 2, and [Biden] approved it right after I left, so Putin is not a fan of mine actually." "He doesn't want to have me. He wants Biden because he's going to be given everything he wants, including Ukraine." Donald Trump, via statement. "He's gonna have his dream of getting Ukraine because of Biden ... The only president in the last five that hasn't given Russia anything is a president known as Donald J. Trump." Donald Trump, via statement.
