Can US presidential hopeful, Harris Kamala, take the words of Russian President Vladimir Putin to the bank?
He has described her in bright terms, saying she appears to have a good spirit based on how contagiously she laughs.
“She laughs so contagiously that it shows that everything is fine with her,” the Russian leader said on Thursday, expressing support for her in the upcoming US presidential election.
Kamala is facing former President Donald Trump as the dominant opposition, a mix that makes Putin’s declaration a bit puzzling, based on how the Democratic Party’s establishment believed he influenced the US poll for Trump when the latter defeated Hillary Clinton.
He added in his comment on the Kamala-Trump fiasco: “Firstly, (US President Joe) Biden recommended all his supporters support Mrs Harris,” Putin said during a question and answer session at Russia’s Eastern Economic Forum in Vladivostok.
“Here, we are going to do that too, we’re going to support her,” he added, with a wry smile.
“She laughs so contagiously that it shows that everything is fine with her,” the Russian leader said.
“(Former US President Donald) Trump has imposed as many sanctions on Russia as any president has ever imposed before, and if Harris is doing well, perhaps she will refrain from such actions.”
