26. I agree. tRump* was incapable on the first day he was SELECTED for POTUS...

...and I say "SELECTED" because I believe a cabal consisting of Putin and his KGB cybertroops were aided and abetted by Robert Mercer and his data mining Cambridge Analytica to selectively target voters with fake news and selectively manipulate portions of certain state's electoral infrastructure.

But yes, I'm sure if Putin has any regrets at this point, it's only that his Presidential Manchurian Candidate/Trojan Horse has proven to be an incapable, incompetent craven idiot. I suspect tRump*s handlers are going to have to work harder than Bush*s did to even attempt to present a Presidential facade, and facade is precisely what it is.
