Donald Trump has spoken out, yet again, about Vladimir Putins endorsement of Kamala Harris.

The Russian president seemed pretty sarcastic on Thursday when encouraged his supporters to back her, bizarrely praising how the Democratic nominee and current vice president laughs so expressively and infectiously.

Its widely expected that a second Trump administration would be much softer on Putin and his brutal invasion of Ukraine than another term of the Democrats , so its unlikely the Russian authoritarian meant what he said.

But the ex-US president, who has often spoken very highly of Putins genius, did not seem to see it that way.

On Friday, he seemed unsure about how to react, telling his fans in New York: I dont know exactly what to say about that. I dont know if Im insulted or he did me a favour?

But, by Saturday, he was telling a rally in Wisconsin that he was very offended by Putins endorsement of Harris.

He said: I knew Putin. I knew him well. And you know, he endorsed, I dont know if you saw the other day, he endorsed Kamala. He endorsed Kamala. I was very offended by that.
