Reuters, on Putins annual press conference yesterday:
Putin, who spoke positively of Trump before his election win, said that Moscow had believed in his victory.
"Trump understood the mood of the people and kept going until the end, when nobody believed in him," Putin said, adding with a smile. "Except for you and me."
Putin addressed Trump's comments about the need to boost the U.S. nuclear arsenal, saying they were perfectly normal.

About the Democrats:
"The current administration and the leadership of the Democratic Party are trying to blame all their failures on external factors," Putin told reporters.
" We are talking about) a party which has clearly forgotten the original meaning of its own name," Putin said, accusing the Democrats of "shamelessly" abusing their status as the ruling party to try to influence public opinion.
"Outstanding figures in American history from the ranks of the Democratic Party would likely be turning in their graves. Roosevelt certainly would be," he said.
