Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday jumped to the defense of Donald Trump, saying that President Barack Obama and the media are trying to “undermine the legitimacy” of the man he allegedly tried to get elected.

“We are witnessing an ongoing acute political struggle in the U.S., whose task is to undermine the legitimacy of the president-elect,” Putin told the Russian news agency Interfax, according to Business Insider on Tuesday. He also accused the authors of the Trump dossier of being “worse than prostitutes” and argued that “the media frenzy surrounding Trump speaks of the degradation of U.S. political elites.”

Putin dismissed a dossier — filled with unverified allegations claiming that Trump had been compromised by Russian intelligence — as “an obvious fake” and “nonsense.” He went on to argue that Russians feel no need to “chase every American billionaire” and added, in perhaps an attempt to suck up to the president-elect, that Trump “has been with the most beautiful women in the world, so why would he need prostitutes in Moscow?”

Finally, Putin parroted Trump’s claims against President Obama, saying he was trying to tie Trump’s “hands and feet” by imposing new sanctions on Russia.

I think Trump is not quite as buffed as Putin, but it's cute.
