Love is in the air. It's the time of year when we think of sweethearts like Romeo and Juliet,

Anthony and Cleopatra, and of course, Donald and Vladimir.

Now, some of you may be thinking, really, does Donald Trump truly love Vladimir? And I'll admit, the only two people who really understand a romantic relationship are the two people who are in it.

But what I want to show you today, and please, let's not gossip about this, is what these two lovebirds have been doing in public.

Do you like Vladimir Putin's comments about you?

Sure.

When people call you brilliant, it's always good, especially when the person heads up Russia.

He's running this country, and at least he's a leader, you know, unlike what we have in this country.

Wow. So Trump really had a thing for a strong man, even one who murders people and invades other countries,

which, by the way, the country Putin had just invaded a year before that interview was Ukraine.

But Scarborough tried to warn Trump one more time.
