Donald Trump’s exceptional magnetism helped him to win the presidential race, press secretary of the Russian president, Dmitry Peskov, said in a comment on Vladimir Putin’s "the man is overdoing it" about Trump.
"It was absolutely clear from the context he was speaking about the election campaign, that, naturally, like anywhere in the world, our media were rather active, they broadcasted Trump’s speeches, fragments of his talks with the supporters and so on," the press secretary said.
"What the president meant is that back then Trump’s magnetism, of course, was different from that of other candidates, and the election results show the US voters preferred that energy," TASS cited Peskov as saying.
