I’ve been talking about this for over a year, time to drive it home once again. Putin has Trump by the neck, anybody body who can’t see it is either blind, deaf, or just a plain ignoramus.

We all know Hillary never had a chance in hell in becoming America’s first female president, Putin made goddamn sure of it, and Trump knows it.   Continue reading “Trump – Putin’s Puppet – Putin’s Iron Grip On A United States President”
