What did Trump say about Putin NOT being afraid of Hillary?

[hamsterjill]

I was driving when I heard it and I wasn't sure that I heard it correctly, but it was something to the effect that Putin wouldn't have been afraid of Hillary...blah blah blah...

What was the context? Did I hear it right?

Sure sounded like a sexist jab to me. Not that a sexist jab coming from Trump-ass would surprise anyone.

1. The leaked report claimed Putin "feared" Hillary which is why Putin preferred Trump

Per the report, Putin had longstanding grudges against her and feared her as President (as she would not ease sanctions and would stand in his way of doing what he wants to do)

2. In other words, Putin was afraid of a girl but not trump. That must rankle him..LOL..nt

4. Exactly!!!

Tiny Hands was having to redeem himself!!! LOL

3. considering how far he went to make sure she doesn't become president

We know who he is afraid of.

And hillary would have been tougher than Obama on russia .

7. As SOS she tried to get E Europe away from dependence on Russian oil....

Or how Manny et al used to say it "sell fracking to the world" when countries like Poland were moving away from coal.

9. We now see why Russian trolls made such a big deal of that.

Posters who had never given a damn about the environment suddenly cared soooooo much about fracking. Now we know why.

10. I know well meaning Bernie fans who parroted that line and when I asked what they thought of Poland'

Current mix of energy resources and what would be better viable solutions way back when HRC was SS and solar was cost prohibitive .... he just turned red and stammered. I said - you're better than this. Stop parroting crap and promote your own candidate or shut up.
He did come around to support - and even like HRC but of course, he knew little of substance about her before she was confirmed as our candidate. He still bitches about her.... husbands policies. Jerk!

6. "Does anyone believe Hillary would be tougher on Putin than me?"

May have a single word wrong - might have referred to himself in the third person again- but I'm sure I'm accurate on this.

8. Thank you!!! That's what I was looking for.

Yes, that was the phrase. And it was very sexist the way he said it.

11. It stood out because Dems accused her of such hawkishness ....

And it was yet another way where she had to straddle a razor thin line. She could NOT catch a break with those assholes.
