In a speech that one-upped even some of the president-elect’s colorful Twitter commentary, Russian President Vladimir Putin on Tuesday called Donald Trump’s political enemies “worse than prostitutes” for disseminating a dubiously-sourced dossier last week alleging a relationship between Trump and the Kremlin. “They have no moral limits.”TRUMP PRAISES PUTIN OVER RESPONSE TO US SANCTIONSThe series of memos alleged that Russian intelligence had years ago secretly recorded embarrassing footage of Trump in an attempt to compromise the then-business magnate. Putin dismissed that claim as “an obvious fake.”“Trump, when he came to Moscow a few years ago, was not a politician,” Putin said. Trump has faced increasing criticism from many on the political left and some on the right for his perceived friendly relationship with Russia -- and Putin, in particular. Putin has returned the praise and expressed his own wishes to work with Trump after he takes office Friday.
