Donald Trump praised Russian President Vladimir Putin’s ‘strong control’ over Russia and said he was ‘far more’ of a leader than President Obama.

‘The man has very strong control over a country,’ Trump said when asked about Putin’s past praise for him at a commander in chief forum on NBC Wednesday night. He spoke moments after Hillary Clinton left the stage in a setting that amounted to a scrimmage before the high stakes presidential debates that start later this month.

‘I think when he calls me brilliant I’ll take the compliment, okay?’ Trump said when pressed about Putin, whose regime is under U.S. and international sanctions over Russia’s incursion into Ukraine. ‘The fact is, look, it’s not gonna get him anywhere,’ he added.

‘If he says great things about me, I’m going to say great things about him.’

Trump continued: ‘Now It’s a very different system and I don’t happen to like the system, but certainly in that system, he’s been a leader. Far more than our president has been a leader.’
