MOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)Vladimir Putin has become deeply worried about his strategy after learning that Donald J. Trump called him smart, Kremlin sources have revealed.
After Trump praised Putin Saturday night at the Conservative Political Action Conference, in Orlando, the Russian foreign minister, Sergey Lavrov, reluctantly shared a video of the disturbing moment with the Russian President.
As Putin watched Trump call him smart, all the blood drained from his face, a source said. He was clearly shaken.
After watching the video of Trump, Putin spent a sleepless night in consultation with Russian military and intelligence officials to determine where and how he had gone wrong.
Hes rethinking everything now, and hes in a very fragile state of mind, the source said. If it comes out that Don, Jr., or Eric thinks hes smart, that could break him.
Meanwhile, Donald J. Trump doubled down on his support for the Russian President, offering Putin advice on declaring Russia bankrupt.
