Capping an extraordinary year for the former television host, the Kremlin has named Donald J. Trump its Employee of the Month for December. “No one has worked more tirelessly for the glory of the Fatherland than Donald Trump,” the Russian President Vladimir Putin said in an official statement. “He has set a high bar for all Kremlin employees, and for that, we salute him.” Speaking to reporters at his Mar-a-Lago estate, in Florida, Trump called the award “a tremendous honor, just tremendous.” “Obama was President for eight years and he didn’t win this a single month,” he said. “Loser.”
