I admit that I was surprised when you went for Trump. I thought you were painting yourself into an inevitable corner, given his character.
I thought of him as the lesser of two evils. I hoped he would drain the swamp ...... but I think the swamp will end up drowning him!
Even the Russians seem to have fallen out of love with him. Trump cover was relentless until recently (he was mentioned more that Putin last month) but the word has obviously now gone out to tone it down. Flynn's resignation didn't even get a mention in the main Russian domestic news, despite the fact that it was Russo-centric.
Not true. If you watch RT (
you know .... that Putin mouthpiece )there have been several programmes as well as news items about Trump. Cross Talk has had several quite lively discussions. There is one guy he has on, a journalist from The Hill (
can't remember his name )who is twice as anti Putin/Russia/Assad/Trump as you and Paphiis combined, who sits there with a supercilious smile shouting down and interruption any other guest. Can be very entertaining!
Pravda today "you need to be drunk to understand the true position of the US president”.
I only hope that Trump doesn't feel the urge to do something stupid in order to prove that he is no "Russkie lover".
He has said he wants to return to a good relationship with Putin. Again, as Trump said, that can only be a good thing and he admitted that progressing with that view could be damaging to his career. Could be damaging to his health as well .... if McCain has his way?
You sometimes raved on about Obama, who by comparison was a predictable pussycat. TBH, I thought he was the most inept POTUS since Carter. However, there was never a time when he scared the beejesus out of me - like Trump.
I raved about Obama? He is a Lawyer for Christ’s sake ..... he is a smooth human talking machine, he just pushed what he was told to push. I do give him credit though for backing off a full scale blitz on Syria on what later turned out to be very iffy evidence. Maybe he could give Trump a few lessons on ‘Public Speaking’?
I am afraid Hillary would have ‘
scared the beejesus out of me’ in fact I even bought a new spade just in case I had to build a quick nuclear bunker, had she won! She might ‘
win’ yet .... they are certainly trying hard.
