Former Russian Foreign Minister Says Kremlin Is Nervous Trump Will Soon Be Ousted
http://www.liberalamerica.org/2017/02/20/former-russian-foreign-minister-says-kremlin-nervous-trump-will-soon-ousted/While many Americans are worried about the odd moves made by Donald Trump since he took the oath of office, it turns out that Russian officials are also starting to get jittery about how tenuous a grip on reality and power the so-called president seems to have a month into his administration.
Former Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Andrei Fedorov told NBC News that the Kremlin thinks that Trumps repeated attacks on the news media and slurs against American intelligence agencies have left him dancing on thin ice, and could lead to him being removed from office.
In addition to Fedorov, former Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Kasyanov said the Russians do not view Trumps stumbles in a humorous light at all:
Absolutely not not laughing. The situation is very serious and the whole of [Putins] team, they are nervous.

Fedorov says the ultimate goal for Russia is to help Trump avoid looking like a Russian puppet but also securing his support for several important Russian policy goals. Fedorov added:
We should avoid any kind of step that could damage Trump. Trump cannot come to a meeting with Putin as a loser he must sort out his domestic problems first.

though over the long haul the Kremlin should probably worry more that he won't be. People often forget that a buffoon in a clown car can be dangerous.
