Trump on Salmond: 'The greatest politician on the planet!'

Alex Salmond describes his dilemma when Donald Trump endorsed him as Scottish First Minister.

Mr Salmond told 5 live's Jane Garvey and Peter Allen that despite the US President-elect saying he was "the greatest politician on the planet" in the run-up to the 2011 Scottish elections, he had to persuade the then reality-TV star that an endorsement from an "outsider" would probably not go down well with the electorate.
