41. It was always a win-win for Putin if Trump won

Sat Dec 10, 2016, 01:32 PM

Dec 2016

One, if Putin and Trump could actually work together it would be a win. And second, if Trump would lead the US down the drain it would be an even larger win.

Pure speculation on my part, but Putin may have out-trumped Trump here.

And I'm not one to demonize Russia, or even more importantly, Russians, FWIW. I have several Russians friends (yes, I know, I know... but we do share a border, I'm Norwegian) and former "cow-orkers" from there.
