Trump admonishes Clinton for being too mean

... to Vladimir Putin:
If it was anyone but Trump I might believe there was some sort of foreign policy philosophy behind it. But it is just plain ridiculous that the man who literally trash talkes everyone on the planet except his own children thinks we should be more "diplomatic" toward Putin. He is a bull in a china shop on every topic, saying everyone is a "disaster" and commanding them to bow down to American power. Except Vladimir Putin.
He may be right that being belligerent toward Russia isn't a good idea, but if so, it's a coincidence. He hasn't got a clue about international diplomacy or geopolitical strategy. There's some other reason he's saying this because it's so completely out of character. I'm not putting forth any conspiracy theories because I haven't a clue why he's so concerned about not offending this one person but it's very weird.
