Even as some of his most loyal defenders jump ship, there is at least one constituency President Donald Trump can count on for support — Russian state media. According to a translation from Daily Beast columnist Julia Davis — who monitors Russian State media — the analysts on the show The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov went wild for the Trump tariffs.

Among those to praise him was political scientist Dmitry Kulikov, who lauded Trump for wanting “to break everything” and mused that “It looks like the end of the global system is coming, the global system that is about fifty years old.” “The price of goods will certainly go up in the United States,” Kulikov predicted. “The old political and economic global system is practically dead.”

Host Vladimir Solovyov added, “Trump destroyed the trust” — and called for a statue to be built in his honor. “A monument should be erected to him,” Solovyov said. “This was a major blow to the system of capitalism …I think he deserves at least a Sutulov medal.”

According to Davis, a “Sutulov medal” is not as prestigious as it might sound, but rather “a gag gift”. “A well-known Russian expression that describes a worthless award that is given by a master to his servant,” Davis wrote at the Daily Beast.

1. The orange puppet delivers.

2. Putin

clearly has more than the pee tape. Trump is the most useful idiot Russia has ever had.

3. I'm betting it's US classified documents that Trump gave to Putin.

And he has it on video. Putin is telling Trump what to do and Trump is complying. Becau8se he fears the personal consequences more than the destruction of this country.

4. And no one here says a fucking thing about it.

We know who the master and the servant is. A 'Sutulov Medal' is the perfect award for TSF.

6. It is being rumored

that instead of a "Trump Hotel" being built in Moscow, that Putin today ordered a giant ten story statue of Trump be erected....

More than the pee tapes, Putin has to have 8 x 10 Color Glossies and HD Video of Trump, Lindsay Graham, and countless other Republican Politicians having sex with pre-pubescent little girls. (and boys for Lindsay) along with countless others including Rush Limbaugh, Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, etc plus all the uber rich oligarchs.....

11. Hell,

their long-term American operatives probably organized and initiated the events. Spread around lots and lots and truckloads more of money, too. Nothing but the best for our precious leaders.

*ack... vomit*

5. Trump probably works for them

He’s a stupid bastard! Baka yaro!

7. Careful, Russkies. The global trade system isn't dead

It’s being reformed without the US at its center. In fact, the US is cut out. Rules based trade will continue, but like Russia, the US won’t be part of it. The EU, Canada,, UK, Australia, Japan, South Korea and even India are supposedly in talks about just that. And before long, the USD will no longer be the global reserve currency, further complicating economic life for Americans. So they can gloat about the demise of America but beware the new colossus taking our place.

8. Im sure he'll take great pleasure

In the praise. He'll likely even point to it as proof he's doing a good thing .

9. Celebrating a major blow to capitalism

Doesn't Russia pretend to be a capitalist economy, or are the openly something else (the only thing that comes to mind is oligarchy, but I didn't think they openly lauded that).

10. "This was a major blow to the system of capitalism" sounds like Trump is the Marxist! n/t
