Trumpushka

So reported The Beast: 

The Kremlin’s chief propagandist could hardly contain his excitement during his Tuesday show, The Evening With Vladimir Solovyov, reveling in U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest flurry of imperial aspirations and destructive moves against Western alliances.

Decorated state TV host Vladimir Solovyov danced, pranced, and praised Russia’s beloved “Trumpushka,” a man he has previously described as “our agent Trump.”

Now, dementia could be a part of Trump’s increasing instability and disinhibition, but it remains a reasonable and foundational inference that Trump’s pro-Russian agency has much more to do with Putin’s owning him. And that ownership threatens not only Ukraine, but Europe, and America as well. 

Here in Minneapolis, Minnesota, we’re being occupied by our fledgling dictator’s not-so-secret police.
