Vladimir Putin is actually a little bit worried about Trump’s mental state

2014 F1 Russian Grand Prix - Winners Podium

With this story, you’ve either got to laugh or to cry. I’m choosing to laugh. After Emperor Baby Fists was elected, I said that Vladimir Putin was going to learn an important lesson about getting what you pay for. It seems like my prophecy is coming true! According to NBC News, Czar Putin is somewhat concerned about the Trump situation, and he’s gone so far as to order a complete psychological dossier on Donald Trump. No need to wait, Putin. I’ll give you the low-down right now: our baby-fisted despot is a complete moron and if you say something nice about him and stroke his ego in any way, he’ll be your friend. This whole NBC News piece is full of gems, and you can read the full piece here. Some highlights:

A dossier on Donald Trump’s psychological makeup is being prepared for Russian President Vladimir Putin. Among its preliminary conclusions is that the new American leader is a risk-taker who can be naïve, according to a senior Kremlin adviser.

Trump “doesn’t understand fully who is Mr. Putin — he is a tough guy,” former Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Fedorov told NBC News. The file is being compiled by retired diplomats and some of Putin’s staff, he added. The attempt to get inside the U.S. president’s mind is aimed at helping Putin plan for his first meeting with America’s new leader, the date for which is yet to be decided.

“Very serious preparatory work is going on in the Kremlin, including a paper — seven pages — describing a psychological portrait of Trump, especially based on this last two to three months, and the last weeks,” added Fedorov, who said he has known Trump since 2000. The dossier was being revised regularly, he said, adding that many in the Kremlin believed that Trump viewed the presidency as a business. Fedorov added: “Trump is not living in a box — he is living in a crowd. He should listen to the people around him especially in the areas where he is weak.”

Putin’s government is growing increasingly concerned about Trump’s battles in Washington, according to Fedorov and former lawmaker Sergei Markov, who remains well-connected at the Kremlin. It is worried the president will not have the political power to improve relations with Russia, as he has indicated he might try to do, and even, perhaps, lift some U.S. sanctions. U.S. intelligence agencies concluded that Russia conducted a covert hacking operation to undermine the U.S. election process, which evolved into an attempt to help Trump win the White House. They also believe with “a high level of confidence” that Putin became personally involved in the campaign to interfere in the election.

Fedorov added that Trump’s “constant battle with the mass media” was “worrying us.” The U.S. president “is dancing on thin ice,” he said. “It’s a risky game.”

A former prime minister under Putin said the Kremlin is taking no pleasure at Trump’s struggles.

“Absolutely not — not laughing,” Mikhail Kasyanov said. “The situation is very serious and the whole of [Putin’s] team, they are nervous.”

Aw, poor babies. Putin greenlights a massive hack of the DNC, wages an online campaign of far-right shenanigans and spends years grooming Trump as his very own Manchurian Candidate, all for it to go to sh-t in the first month of Baby Fists’ presidency because OH RIGHT Trump is an unhinged lunatic who can’t be controlled. Granted, Putin could very easily manipulate Trump into saying or doing anything. But Putin can’t control how unpopular Trump is and how ill-prepared Trump was for the job. Putin should just save his time and money and prepare the psychological dossier on Mike Pence.

    This is a GD mess. Look at what you’ve wrought, Putin.

    • Charlie says:

      Putin wants that, he wants to weaken and embarass America, that’s what he was aiming for when helped Trump. Are they BFFs? Nope, this guy was a KGB spy, do you think he considers Trump an equal? Right now he is doing what everybody is doing, some sincerely, others not, that is to wonder how lunatic Trump is. Is this good for Russia’s plan to have a new kind of URSS? Maybe no, but they are certainly having some fun.

      • vauvert says:

        I actually don’t believe a word of this – Putin and his team have been cultivating Trump for years, investing in him. They know fully well that they control the puppet and they have enough info on all of them – Trump, Kushner and the rest to sink them. This is just throwing dust in the wind to fool people into believing that Trump is actually acting independently. I generally ignore huge conspiracy theories but I have been following recently the info that Adam Khan posts and it is frightening – Trump has been connected to the Russians and their money for a long time.
        They own him and they know exactly what they bought – Putin is despicable but also very smart and ruthless.

    • Nancy says:

      So Putin thinks DT is a crazy person. Step to the rear of the line Vladie. This is so sad. Putin is a murderer of civilians, and while so far all Joffrey has done is tweet and greet the media with disdain, Vlad has had media who disagreed with his agenda poisoned. SNL can do all their parodies, but this is so serious, effen Russia has our president in his pocket and the world is laughing at us and crying for us because anything that messes with us gets them too. trump needs to step down, he has to, something has to give. Hard to take any more.

      • lisac says:

        “trump needs to step down, he has to, something has to give. Hard to take any more.”

        From your lips to any god(dess)/higher power that exists. If they exist. ugh. This whole surreal, horrible, nightmarish situation gets worse every day it seems. It’s completely untenable. What has to happen before Congress gets off their arses and do something?

        The only silver lining that I see these days is so many more people becoming involved their communities and political (on national/state/local levels) issues. Even if they didn’t vote in the elections, perhaps they have seen their error. I see hope in that. I teach am a teacher/researcher and I work with both undergraduate and graduate students and their enthusiasm, their righteous anger, and their activism gives me hope for the future.

      • Megan says:

        Here is a bit of news that suggests all hope is not lost … Milo Yiannopoulis just suffered an epic take down. Video of him defending pedophilia is all over the news.

      • hunter says:

        I’m not a Milo supporter but he wasn’t defending pedophilia, he was defending the relationships between (consenting) younger men and older gay fellows. The French take a similar perspective toward relationships of young people with older ones.

      • Tina says:

        He specifically referred to 13 year olds. He’s done.

      • Shelly says:

        I read and watched everything, he was referring to boys 13 and under.

  2. Luca76 says:

    Putin wasn’t necessarily rooting for Trump because they’re BFF he wants chaos. He very well may release any damaging information he has on him just to cause more chaos. He wants to hamper the west so he can reconstitute some version of the USSR.

    • Dtab says:

      I totally agree…he wants chaos in America so that there is so many problems that no-one notices what he is up to.

    • Ramona says:

      Exactly. The purpose was always to destabilise. Everything else was just a plus.

    • Megan says:

      Exactly. Putin’s end game is the restoration of the USSR. He needs to destabilize western democracies in order to achieve his insane vision. If I lived in Poland I would be very nervous right now.

      • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

        Poland is part of the EU – he can’t annex them unless he wants a war with Europe and her allies. But then again – he wants to destabilize the EU.

      • Luca76 says:

        Yes he very well may have pulled the same disinformation in the U.K. for push Brexit and he’s funding Le Pen in France and he’d love to get rid of Merkel. All he needs is either France or Germany to pull out of the EU and then it’s over.

      • Megan says:

        Putin might risk a war with the EU if he could keep the US out.

      • Sixer says:

        If Le Pen wins, she has promised a Frexit referendum. Such is the French system, however, it does disadvantage her winning so fingers crossed.

      • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

        @Luca76 – the Brexit campaign was a car crash from both sides, neither side really explained their position properly and was nothing but headline grabbing statements. Neither bothered to actually explain how the EU itself works and how the UK works within it. Many communities who voted to leave shot themselves in the foot as a lot of the regeneration money that was going into building new social housing, subsidising community activities and promoting local jobs was coming from the EU – they’ve now flushed the future of their communities down the toilet. The EU was very big on local community regeneration and millions are being spent on it throughout the EU.

        And yes, if Merkel loses – its game over for the EU. She’s holding it together and Germany is funding them all. The French economy is in the toilet but I don’t think they will vote Le Pen in, thou her opposition opponents are at the centre of various scandals at the moment – so i guess Putin as at it again, smearing his preferred candidates competition.

      • Megan says:

        Three months ago I would have said Le Pen stood no chance and Merkel was a sure thing, but now my world has been turned upside down and I no longer consider anything impossible.

      • lisac says:

        I’ve been following the French election as much as possible. It seems like Macron is the best best for defeating Le Pen – or at least that is what I am reading from US/UK/Canada sources. Anyone here from France that can give us their thoughts?

      • Sixer says:

        Megan – I know. Sands are shifting and old certainties are falling apart.

        Lisac – the basic point is that the French presidential elections go as run-offs, specifically designed to keep out extremists because moderates on both right and left will combine to keep out an extremist when it’s down to the final two candidates. They call it the pacte républicain. But, as Megan notes, the old checks and balances seem to be falling apart these days, so who knows?

      • Megan says:

        @Sixer I have more faith in the French system than the US system, but the scandals make me nervous. A flipping email server brought down the most qualified presidential candidate in US history.

      • lara says:

        @ Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) if Merkel loses, it is most likely to Schulz and he is at least as pro-european as Merkel. Due to the structure of the german voting System, it seems to be highly unlikely for the right wing party to be part of the government, since every one of the lage parties promised to refuse a coalition. I am not a fan of a grast coalition, but at the Moment, it seems to bee at least a Garant for some stability.

    • Locke Lamora says:

      It’s fascinating that he can do that. You guys are supposed to be the biggest superpower in the world.

      • Sixer says:

        And a superpower entirely used to doing exactly this to the democratic processes of other countries. It beggars belief that the hubris was such nobody in the US took any defensive steps before it actually happened to them.

      • Locke Lamora says:

        Exactly. How did this happen?

      • Sixer says:

        Hubris is the only answer I can think of. Same with Brexit. Stupid people at the top thinking nothing could ever touch them.

      • Megan says:

        More like the DNC was doing it on the cheap and a crappy contractor failed to respond to repeated contacts by the FBI.

      • Sixer says:

        LOL Megan! Yes – if the choice is conspiracy or cock-up, cock-up is usually the odds on favourite.

      • Doc says:

        I think a shift of world powers has happened and on many accounts the US can’t be considered one anymore. China comes to mind.

    • Shambles says:

      Agreed. It’s not like he has some affection for Trump. The Trump corporation is beholden to Russia financially, and Vlad is also seizing on an opportunity to destabilize a world power.

      • K.T. says:

        One of the other things I want to leave here is how much big data or psychometric profiling by brexit PR firms big-data firms like Cambridge Analytica are going to influence more and more elections and/or viewpoints. Cambridge Analytica was reportedly partly behind Brexit’s early social media success (I.e. propaganda) and then was hired to be another part of Trump’s campaign. Robert Mercer, ultra right tech billionaire is a major funder, Steve Bannon is on Cambridge’s board etc.
        See: easy to read motherboard/vice for an article about ‘how Big Data…’ but I actually believe that the usual xenophobia, sexism and racism swung back the curve for more popular fascism. It’s just important to know HOW and WHO helped, plus, and when and why they did it… we just gotta be smarter then big data miners 😉 *sob*

    • isabelle says:

      He also wants to manipulate his people into feeling like democracy has failed or is failing. So they don’t’ turn against again and believe there is nothing else to hope for and overthrow him for it. Russia isn’t doing so well economically and its a way to control the misery he as reigned down since he by force took over.

    • K.T. says:

      @Luca76 Agreed – Putin wants to destabilise US dominance by diff types of chaos information techniques. It’s actually a well established technique by many demagogues & Putin used it to diniminuish allies and rivals for political dominance. Read many biographies, articles and research papers if you need to more information. Putin’s playbook is to get leverage over the right/far right and also to influence and help the far left (Steiners, Sanders, Indies etc) to destabilise centrist left & right. See ‘leftish’ wikileaks supporting far right Trump/altright info dumps. Or Sanders helped by mass-soviet trolling over Hillary.
      Many soviet analysts suggested that Putin was even surprised how quickly his relatively low-cost basic disinformation/spying/leaks worked for the Trump campaign & election. Having probably financial blackmail or greymail over Trump/republicans or even just disinformation techniques destabilises western democracy enough that Putin can consolidate power to reassert lost Soviet dominance. Articles about Trump’s inability to lead/mental health crisis are good for destabilising, in part because there’s accuracy in reporting.
      FYI: Trump and *opportunist* parts of the republican government are just making it easy for US rivals (traditionally Russia & China) to delegitimise its democracy and its political superiority by using the disinformation, propaganda, mass trolling, and inflaming the usual infighting between the centrist left and the far-left or moderates and far-right.

    • Doc says:

      Russia has more power in the former USSR countries (mostly the stans), i.e. Where the oil is than it did before. I find the views on world politics that I’ve read here so far to be frighteningly naive and uneducated.
      I also don’t believe that anyone here knows the details of the annexation of Crimea or how the fact that Russia supports the Assad regime in Syria reverbates on the world, mostly Europe and not just the EU. I also don’t think Trump’s administration knows and that’s even more frightening.

  3. Beth says:

    That’s not “fake news”!

  4. minx says:

    They got what they paid for.

  5. lightpurple says:

    He’s just now realizing that his puppet is mentally unstable?

    • Megan says:

      No, he just needs better intel on how to control and manipulate Cheetolini since he seems to have come utterly unhinged in the past four weeks.

      Unlike Trump, Putin does his home work, which means we’re totally screwed.

    • Esmom says:

      Yeah, lightpurple, that didn’t add up for me, either. If Putin backed Trump then he was likely well aware of all his flaws and temperament. Even the average civilian could see that Trump wasn’t stable going back years. Decades.

      Megan, I guess I can see your point. I could see that Putin chose Trump simply because he is so easily manipulated. But to now suddenly need more info on him seems odd. Buyer’s remorse?

  6. Sixer says:

    Similarities: both deeply worrying authoritarian populists with a less-than-desirable approach (I’m being polite) to controlling domestic populations sharply divided in political outlook.

    Differences: Vladimir Putin is competent at his authoritarian populism; the Orange One is not even close to competent at his.

    Conclusions: I have none. I just want to cry.

    • littlemissnaughty says:

      Oh, Sixer. My conclusion is that these two cannot exist in the same universe. One will have to go. At this point – AND OH MY GOD WHO KNEW I WOULD EVER SAY THIS – I have to choose the president of the United States. Lord help us all. I mean sh*t, I may have to look into meditation. I’ll have a heart attack and won’t even make it to WWIII.

      • Sixer says:

        Well, the other difference is that Putin has his deep state onside and Trump does not. So yes, you have to choose the Orange One as he is the more likely candidate to be deposed.

        On a somewhat unrelated note, WaPo had a good article on the euro, austerity and central bankism earlier. I thought of you when I read it.

      • günaydın says:

        Putin is far worse than Trump. Another leader worse than Trump is Erdoğan. Both Putin and Erdoğan are hypocritical dictators with directly blood stained hands and thousands of political prisoners. At the moment Trump is merely a rich hypocrite with a big mouth. There is no real comparison between these ‘leaders’ on a non-superficial level. Whereas Putin and Erdoğan are deadly and have dismantled rights and our secular freedoms, Trump is impotent.

      • littlemissnaughty says:

        Thanks for the article. I read a similar one but only regarding Greece a few months ago. It’s so depressing. Not only is NONE of this working and was never going to work, it’s also f*cking with out future. Greece, population 10.5 million, was supposed to find its way out from under its massive debt by … I don’t know, making people bring their own bedding to hospital (that’s really a thing, apparently)? By exporting more olives??? It’s insane. And behold, their debt-to-GDP ratio, which was what caused everyone to freak out in the first place, has gotten completely out of control. Who knew???

        And just to keep a lid on the inevitable catastrophe of bankruptcy, let’s just keep interest rates at zero. Because that helps us how? None of my friends know how to plan for retirement. We’re told private planning is the way to go because even our government knows our current system won’t support us. But since Draghi et al. are burning money every minute, there is no retirement plan that makes sense except pray.

        I could just lose it thinking about it. Greece won’t bounce back. We need to face that.

      • Sixer says:

        Littlemiss: And deeply infuriating for me in the UK, where we had equally unsuccessful austerity that we didn’t need to cos no euro; that we voted Brexit even though the main thing wrong with the EU, the euro, we’d opted out of.

        Everything makes me want to cry.

      • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

        @sixer – I dread reading the news in the morning as it makes me upset and angry. Today was one of those days – we have our parliament getting their knickers in a twist over the Trump State visit while the NHS in England has massively overspent (those trusts MUST be dismantled or put into gov control) and yet no one in our gov seems to care. Plus May shows face in the House of Lords on the first day of the Brexit paper debate – a visit that will be seen as intimidation (granted she has a right to be there but the PM never sits in the HoL during a debate). While the mice fight over Agent Orange, the cat plays with the rats.

        Priorities – nice to see that the gov has some.

      • Sixer says:

        I’m sitting here chasing my unpaid invoices by email and swapping from Brexit debate to Trump debate on BBC Parliament. It’s like an addiction and I need to break it. World’s lost the plot and I need to find a way to make time for the things that I KNOW I can make better all by myself – my immediate surroundings: kids, wider family, friends, neighbours.

      • Digital Unicorn (aka Betti) says:

        @Sixer – tell me about it. Am in between contracts at the moment and bored – am running out of options to avoid day time TV, any news on TV in be exact. Loose Women and This Morning make me want to hurt myself. I can’t even find solace in the royal threads as in just about every one on Harry/Meghan there is at least one post asking to see the photographs/evidence of them together (even thou they are plastered all over the internet/other media outlets).

      • Megan says:

        @Sixer – I feel your pain. I am on a tight deadline for a new biz proposal to work with an amazing charity and I can’t pull myself away from the news sites. The take down of Yiannopoulos isn’t helping me get my work done.

  7. Bichon says:

    I’m worried about trump too

  8. ida says:

    Why do they let the public know? Is this a kind of warning shot to silence Trump otherwhise they will help to get rid of him?

    • TheOtherOne says:

      Exactly…..I am glad I’m not the only questioning this. Why announce you are compiling a dossier if an “alleged” Russian dossier was the beginning of the public’s receipts for a Trump-Putin relationship/back alley deal.

    • The Original G says:

      Seriously. Does anyone think that Putin would only target the DNC ? Duh.

      Yeah, my eyes were popping out of my head when I read that article. This is an extreme lesson in why you do not politicize the Attorney General. Any AG committed to the rule of law would have appointed a special prosecutor by now.

  12. delorb says:

    I think the story that got lost during Real Time with Bill Maher is what Malcolm Nance said about the speed and specificity with which the DNC leaks happened. He said that doesn’t happen without round the clock sifting through information to find exactly what is needed. He basically outed Putin as being behind the leaks.

  13. robyn says:

    Fake news? I don’t trust this at all. This story is a scam by Putin to appear worried about what Trump will do. Putin is delighted Trump is confounding the world and embarrassing and disrupting America. There is also behind the scenes pro-Russia “peace agreements” with Ukraine going on that might involve removing sanctions from Russia. Watch for it.

    • Shambles says:

      Yeah, I think Putin is trying to publicly distance himself because he knows the truth’s a’comin.

    • Anitas says:

      There’s no way Putin was unaware of how unhinged Trump was. Trump’s been a pathetic little Twitter troll for years, at war with random celebrities and the media. Now that he’s been given a powerful platform he sure isn’t going to stop acting like a douchebag. Putin knew this all too well.

    • Betsy says:

      It’s not fake news so much as it’s a distraction. Every nation has these psychological dossiers on every other head of state. Putin definitely knows what a moron and fraud Donald is; Donald’s been washing up their money for decades.

      But release of the news might be an attempt to remind Donald where his bread is buttered.

    • adastraperaspera says:

      I do not believe A WORD of this “news” either. It’s absurd! Putin has known everything there is to know about Cheeto for years now. Putin is planting stories like this to pretend he is not a friend/handler of Trump’s. This is intended to help them both deny the evidence of collaborations that surely are coming out soon.

  15. LinaLamont says:

    I repeat…McCain is a moral coward. I’m not questioning his heroism as a POW. But, his equivocating about Russia (and the media); qualifying his attacks on the current U.S. regime and, specifically, Trump. Says one thing (actually, waffles); votes another. Supported Palin; still supports Trump.
    Let’s see how far he and Graham push for independent and unbiased investigations into all these Russian allegations and discoveries.

  18. Indiana Joanna says:

    And once the dossier is finished the Russian people who created it will be found murdered. Just like the man who investigated baby fists with his Russian call girls.

    Putin has to be worried about the American people’s outrage and protests in the streets influencing Russian citizens. And many other countries have had their own protests against baby fists. That kind of civil outrage can’t be what Putin envisioned when he endorsed Trump.

    • Anne says:

      Sorry, but what makes you think Russians need to be influenced by Americans in order to protest? That’s incredibly condescending.

      • Indiana Joanna says:

        I don’t know how you came to the conclusion that I think the Russians’ need the US to influence them.

        Putin was ticked off at Hillary when he thought she interfered with the Russian election. According to Politico: With the protesters accusing Putin of having rigged recent elections, the Russian leader pointed an angry finger at Clinton, who had issued a statement sharply critical of the voting results. “She said they were dishonest and unfair,” Putin fumed in public remarks, saying that Clinton gave “a signal” to demonstrators working “with the support of the U.S. State Department” to undermine his power. “We need to safeguard ourselves from this interference in our internal affairs,” Putin declared.

        It’s fine if you disagree with me. Don’t accuse me of being dismissive of the Russian people’s own power.

    • Boston Green Eyes says:

      But the people who supported Trump *do not care* – they won’t be outraged. They will just believe their moron leader and say that it is fake news. These people don’t read newspapers and just barely have the attention span to watch Faux News. Those of you outside of the US truly underestimate the absolute and utter ignorance of those who voted for Trump.

  19. nemera34 says:

    This takes me back to his meeting with Benjamin “Bibi” Netanyahu . When he was asked about a 2 State Solution. Trump had no idea what it was or how it would work. The look on “Bibi” face showed that he finally saw the crazy. He was so against Obama.. then went out to praise the possibility of Trump being the answer. But he saw it. I was shocked at how quite Netanyahu has been. We used to see him on Sunday morning shows. I don’t recall seeing or hearing from him since the meeting. Now Russia is seeing that this Puppet is a Fool. More so than they thought and not in a way that will aid them

    • Esmom says:

      Were the Israelis not paying attention to the campaign? I find it hard to believe that Netanyahu (or anyone, really) didn’t realize what a buffoon Trump was until that moment.

        Hi, Esmom. I noticed Bibi didn’t allow any handshake photos with babyfists. I don’t believe that Netenyahu considers him an intellectual or political equal in any sense. And the fact that babyfists has his son-in-law Kushner heading up Israeli Middle East relationships is disrespectful. Kushner has no experience in this area. So I seriously question Netenyahu’s trust in this administration.

      He said a lot of little comments to himself and low talked Trump to calm him down. Think Israel wont be relying so much on the US with this administration.

      • Doc says:

        Sorry, but this just makes me laugh hysterically- Israel relying on the US? Ahaha
        With these kind of statements, you put yourself in the same package as Trump voters.

      America has lost not only its self-appointed moral authority, but basically any authority on any policy issue. Look to our fake leader for how to tweet crazy-grams though – we got that covered. Seriously though, the world leaders must be thinking about this doofus either, this is going to be like taking candy from a baby, or really, why should we listen to you at all?

    There are videos and business dealings with Sater that stam a few years back even some Bayrock Company, where his company was contracted with them and there is a business card with floating about on Twitter and you can go to twitter @dustingiebel where you see a video with Trump and ABCS’s report on him where he walked out the BBC Interview with John Sweeney for @bbcpanorama in 2013. You can also check it with Forbes they have the whole shebang on there.

    “Very serious preparatory work is going on in the Kremlin…”

    I read ‘Kremlin’ as ‘kitchen’ and immediately imagined a roomful of specially commissioned Russian chefs feeding bits of putrid, stinking, orange food waste into a blender until it reached the correct malodorous, lumpy trump consistency.

    I really think this whole sh!tshow is the brainchild of the GOP to install Spence as POTUS. Which will also be terrible. Errybody would need to be removed- vice president, speaker, and president pro temp of the Senate.

    if ever we needed Doc and Marty and their time machine-that time is now. God what a mess…Putin is just happy that the train wreck that is Vlad Trump (hey if his staff can rename Trudeau to JOE, i can rename him) is getting ALL the headlines while he,Putin, moves his tanks ever closer to the Ukraine and no one notices.

    • Doc says:

      @DTTIME2 Wish I could help, but Marty’s nowhere to be seen and it’s hard nowadays to get a hold of them Libyans for that uranium.

    Russian ambassador to the UN dies “suddenly ” in NYC. Donald, good luck. I hope it was worth it.

    It’s official: Germans are more worried about President Trump than Russian President Vladimir Putin.

    That, at least, is the result of a poll published Friday by FG Wahlen for public broadcaster ZDF, in which a whopping 78 percent of Germans asked said they were “very concerned” about Donald Trump’s policies, up from 62 percent in January. Meanwhile, 58 percent said they were worried about the politics of Russian President Vladimir Putin, while 40 percent said they weren’t.

    I have an easier time believing that Bibi did not think he would be this dumb. His face was priceless.

    As for Putin, I really have a hard time believing this story. I think he knows what 45 is all about. Pure ego and reckless. Also needs breastfeeding according to Hugh Laurie.

  27. LuvHotGuyFri says:

    Maybe Putin will become so frustrated that he arranges to speed Trump along in the impeachment process by hacking into his phone and computer and planting evidence. Maybe we can get the ball rolling by somehow getting Trump to challenge Russia to do this, like he did to Hilary….

    I see dead people. UN Russian Ambassador, Vitaly Churchin, dies suddenly in New York today.

    He first met Trump in 1986 and considered him a friend.

    I don’t believe for one second Putin is just now investigating Twitler, he may suspect he’s backed a jack-ass at this point, but he didn’t buy the horse without looking at the teeth.
