That explains precisely why The Donald John sucks up to Putin/Russia consistently because he owes them bigly for electing him prez. How do you EVER repay a hugely bigly debt like that? By staying in line, sucking up big time and denying they had anything to do with the election. Most Americans DESPISE Trump. Makes one wonder what happened and how he got elected. Now we know. They believed all the lies and voted for someone they were PROGRAMMED to vote for by being manipulated! Gullible folks. Impressionable. Nothing but clay in the hands of the master...Russia. Who knows? The damage they did when they voted was ORCHESTRATED by a hostile foreign government. How are they not puppets whose strings were pulled due to lies? SIGH. And so it goes! :(
