ASTANA, November 28. /TASS/. Russian President Vladimir Putin is outraged by all the hate thrown at US President-elect Donald Trump’s family during his election campaign.

"The biggest thing for me was that while attacking [Trump] as part of the election campaign, they not only subjected him to humiliating, unfounded judicial proceedings but also bashed his family, his children too. Even common thugs don’t do that here," Putin noted, when talking with reporters.

According to Putin, when gangs fight with each other, they "don’t target women and children but leave them alone." "It’s men that fight with each other. But these people did target [the family]. It’s just vile, another clear sign of the moral decline of the current US political system," the Russian president concluded.
