Plus, reaction in the Russian press to Mr Nobody Against Putin winning an Oscar [spoiler alert: there isn’t much.]

Writing about Donald Trump, one paper says the US president has "made a mistake as old as the world. It's a feature of personalistic regimes. He comes to believe in his own genius. Those around him say only what he wants to hear."

One of today's Russian papers writes that Donald Trump “needs help extricating himself from the poisoned political web spun from his arrogance & recklessness. Putin’s political trump cards have multiplied due to the miscalculations of his US counterpart”

Vladimir #Putin isn’t criticising Donald #Trump over the Iran war. But one Russian paper: “The ‘peace president’ has lost his mind.”

Another article hopes “the spirit of #Anchorage, like a genie put back in the bottle, will be thrown to the bottom of Persian Gulf.”
