Russia is a gas station masquerading as a country with an economy smaller than that of California. But even as weak as Russia is Putin has moved into Syria in the face of Obama's weakness (remember the red line where Obama backed off?) and Putin probably broke about even with Obama on Ukraine even whilst running, again, a much weaker country.
So yeah, he might be a stronger leader. That isn't saying much and it doesn't mean Putin is a good guy but Trump's point is at the very least arguable.
