Related: About this forumPutin "pulls out" of Campaign Event with Trump
http://www.newyorker.com/humor/borowitz-report/putin-cancels-campaign-event-with-trumpMOSCOW (The Borowitz Report)Calling the Republican nominees behavior completely indefensible, the Russian President, Vladimir Putin, cancelled a joint campaign appearance with Donald Trump on Monday.
Putin, who had been scheduled to campaign alongside Trump at a rally in Columbus, Ohio, said that he would make no joint appearances with the billionaire for the remainder of the campaign.
As the father of two daughters, I cannot condone or defend Mr. Trumps behavior, the Russian leader said in a curt official statement.

Appearing on CNN, Trumps campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway, attempted to downplay the Putin defection by claiming that Trump still has the support of many other totalitarian dictators.
