Does Russia and Putin have something on Trump?

You have to wonder? Of all the other leaders of countries who he could admire, he picks a leader, which has strained relation with the US, Putin! He made a comment yesterday "Putin can do anything he wants"! That under minds every world leader who tries to Russia under rape! Just another reason he should never have the codes nor the power to control the fate of the world!

the half witted dupe they are using.

Went to them with hat in hand to get money, first and foremost, and is a complete babbling buffoon.

There is no mystery why Putin wants him to win POTUS, it would the singular biggest disaster for the worlds superpower, and he could just sit back and let it unfold if he so chose.

But, he won't. Day one when Trump takes over, if that were to occur, he would have something in mind that he will do to put Trump into a corner.

or it's a bizarre social experiment of some sort, testing the limits of the capacity of "Know-nothingism" to attract and maintain adherents...

After each trial the outlandishnesses (sp?) of the campaigning are extended another measure toward the extremis.
