As President Donald Trump faces some defections from some of his most steadfast supporters over his tariffs, he can still rely on one group to sing his praises: Russian state media. According to Daily Beast columnist Julia Davis, who closely follows Russian state-sponsored outlets, analysts on the popular program “The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov” recently expressed enthusiastic approval of Trump’s tariff policies.
Political scientist Dmitry Kulikov, a guest on the show, commended Trump�s apparent desire �to break everything,� suggesting that the president�s actions signal �the end of the global system� that has existed for roughly fifty years. �The price of goods will certainly go up in the United States,� Kulikov forecasted, adding, �The old political and economic global system is practically dead.�
Host Vladimir Solovyov joined in the praise, declaring that �Trump destroyed the trust� in the global economic framework. He went so far as to propose that �a monument should be erected to him� for dealing �a major blow to the capitalist system.� Solovyov even suggested Trump deserves �at least a Sutulov medal� for his efforts.
However, as Davis noted, the so-called �Sutulov medal� is far from a prestigious honor. In Russian culture, it is considered a humorous, worthless token�a �gag gift� often described as an award bestowed by a master upon a servant. Whether Solovyov intended his comment as genuine admiration or sly mockery, his overall approval of Trump�s economic approach was unmistakable. �To deliver this kind of a blow, well done, old man!� he exclaimed.
