He then mentioned that Putin has “2,000 nuclear warheads, just like us” (in reality, more than 5,500).
“Russia has never had a president who was so respected, but, more importantly or less importantly, I think I came to Russia and people said: he (Trump. – Ed.) loves Putin, and Putin loves him,” the former president added.
