Putin.
Vladimir Putin has taken Trump under his wing and has rewarded Trump time and again. Putin has created an image of Trump as being a hero to Russia and the American establishment the real enemy.
Oh, yes indeed. So when Trump makes these outrageous statements, like the one about the press being the enemy, there are loyal Russians that take him as seriously as they take their own President.
Recently, RT sponsored an American police officer now living in Russia that states he was a lone man in his job trying to end racism by turning in other officers committing unthinkable assassinations of young black men. He feared for his life as a do - gooder. I have no idea if the facts were true or not. The point is Putin’s Russia is now more interested in America’s problems than their own. Remember now Trump’s the hero slaying all the dragons.
Does RT ever tell their viewership about Russian Birth Vacations in the USA while their hero American President is committing human rights abuses of people and their children fleeing from deadly drug cartels. RT should feature the Russian Birth Vacation side by side with devastated parents from the USA’s southern border and ask what is wrong with that picture? Same President, who is the fool now?
