Why wouldn't he want a puppet as the US president? TFG killed our power/reputation with our ally and he repeatedly tried to get Russia back as a world power. Not to mention his sucking up to Putin. Of course he wants TFG back in power.

The insurrection never stopped, it only grew since 1/6. John Eastman is out in Arizona still trying to overturn the 2020 election.

chain, trying to make Biden look weak, ie: see this didn't happen when great white hope was pres, moreso than just about the invasion. Saudi won't even take pres Biden calls, and I am sure they r funneling into rethug elections, any way they can

Invading Ukraine was meant to weaken president Biden, to weaken our democracy. At the very onset of the invasion what did trump do, he praised Putin. Once Russia conquered Ukraine in 3 days trump would be on microphones proclaiming how Putin never invaded Ukraine on his watch.

Putin and Trump severely underestimated the leadership of president Biden. Putin also lost the race for LePen in France.
