Ohio Gov. John Kasich (R) responded to a Twitter attack from President Trump on Monday with a GIF of Russian President Vladimir Putin laughing.

Trump went after his former Republican primary opponent earlier in the morning, accusing Kasich of "tamping down enthusiasm" for Republican House candidate Troy Balderson.

"The very unpopular Governor of Ohio (and failed presidential candidate) @JohnKasich hurt Troy Balderson's recent win by tamping down enthusiasm for an otherwise great candidate," Trump tweeted. "Even Kasich's Lt. Governor lost Gov. race because of his unpopularity. Credit to Troy on the BIG WIN!"

Kasich endorsed Balderson over Democrat Danny O'Conner before the special election and the Republican holds a narrow lead for the state's reliably-red 12th district seat.

Kasich's reply was a chuckling Putin.

2. As vile as Kasich is ...

I can still appreciate when a pirate on his staff has just the right response to Tic Tac Tojo.
