Why am I not surprised. I knew it was him before I read the article.

Donald Trump is still the preferred candidate of Russia and its longtime leader Vladimir Putin, but there is another member of the GOP's 2024 field who is gaining ground, according to a news report Saturday.
The former president is still considered the best option for Russia, but some Russians have also turned their attention toward entrepreneur Vivek Ramaswamy, according to the Daily Beast's new reporting.
"During his Saturday show on channel Solovyov Live, Yevgeny Satanovsky continued the same train of thought, lionizing Trump alongside some of the most prominent historic figures: 'He is like Nelson Mandela, like Martin Luther King Jr., he is being persecuted by an evil shadow government!' Satanovsky feverishly claimed that Trump might be assassinated, like Abraham Lincoln or John F. Kennedy."

Putin would want to hedge his bets.

It sure did sound like he was already on the Kremlin payroll.
And the Big Oil payroll: "Drill, frack and burn coal." "Climate change is a hoax."
