Trump: Puppeteer Putin will keep pulling strings

President Trump’s narcissism is preventing his own government from taking action against a hostile country. He doesn’t realize that politics is different then business.

Vladimir Putin is an ex-intelligence officer and knows what he is doing. There has been irrefutable evidence by US intelligence agencies that Russia interfered in the 2016 election, yet Putin convinced Trump that our agencies are wrong.

The methods used indicate that they are trying to divide citizens and cause unrest.

Putin picked the perfect puppet as Trump’s super ego plays right into Putin’s agenda; Trump cannot admit that he won an election he should have lost, with the help of Russia.

Russians will continue to meddle in the 2018 and 2020 elections. But then I guess Trump believes that as long as he plays nice with the Russian dictator, Putin will help him win in 2020.

If the Republican Congress doesn’t impeach Trump now, they should be voted out in November.
