Trump thanks Putin for cutting US diplomats: 'We want to reduce our payroll'
By Max Greenwood - 08/10/17 04:43 PM EDT

President Trump thanked Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday for ordering the U.S. to cut its diplomatic staff by 755 people, his first public comments on the extraordinary move by Moscow in response to new sanctions legislation that Trump signed into law.

Trump said he was thanking Putin because the decision allows the U.S. government to "cut down our payroll."

“I want to thank him because we’re trying to cut down our payroll and as far as I’m concerned I’m very thankful that he let go of a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll," Trump told reporters at his Bedminster, N.J. golf club.

I kept waiting for a smile or a knowing chuckle, but it never came.   :facepalm2:
