Trump loves Putin more than the President of the United States of America. Another right wing turn coat.

ТРUМП 2016 ! Сделать Америку великой Снова !

Does Trump even know that a “strongman” in politics is a brutal dictator?

And the trumpster wins the election. With 70% of the votes originating in Russia.But wait! It’s ok, Herr drumpf has already called dibs on the election being rigged.

Nothing new here. Remember Hitler and Mussolini?

How much does he owe Russian banks (er, mob) from even before he got in the race?

The Kremlin has no interest in getting involved in the US election. All this anti-Russian hysteria has been artificially produced so the military-industrial-terrorist complex can justify its insatiable appetite for more and more weapons.

Trump cited Putin’s “strong control over his country” as a sign of true leadership. I guess that is what Trump would like to do here to prove himself as strong a leader as Putin.

Can we expect pictures of a shirtless Trump on a horse?

I trust Putin more than o-(b)LAME-a, or Hillary! Putin just wants an American President with some sense!

another pivot now teleprompters are okay? Or is this just one of those Republicans can use teleprompters but black guys can’t? It is hard to keep up with the rules you make up. Bribery is okay, talking about grandkids is a federal offence.

Chuck Todd referred to this campaign season as the Black Swan Election. Neither front runner is particularly popular, and then Gary Johnson just destroyed his small chances. Even I who lives in the sticks knows about Aleppo.

morningguySomeone with the equipment to post it should find and post two portraits: the subject is on a platform or balcony, with a self-important smirk. Side by side, Trump and Mussolini look like one of those “separated at birth” pictures. That wouldn’t be significant if their political philosophies weren’t so close as well.

‘We should outlaw teleprompters … for anybody running for president.’ – Trump

He is trying to look presidential but he may fool many people but not all the people. If he becomes dictator in Chief he will say and do whatever he wants because he can Not Possibly be wrong, in his mind.That is the scariest part.Politics ARE rigged. The One has been chosen. We just don’t know who it is yet.

“Bear Backer” was priceless!

And since Comrade Trump won’t release his taxes, we can assume he is a paid Russian informant! Especially since his former campaign manager was on their (surrogate’) payroll.

The "bear"backer! Truer words never spoken.

@wabbit….see “bare backing”……serious Bromance stuff

Putin is bombing nearly as many civilians as Assad himself. Of course, Trump also praised Saddam Hussein in public. He did this for two reasons: Trump is massively ignorant. And two, Trump has no morals.

But Martens, Trumpy also granted the interview totally unaware that a network called “Russia Today” could possibly be affiliated with Russia or his buddy Vlad!

On Russian TV, Trump says it’s ‘unlikely’ Putin trying to sway election

Pathetic thing is that the GOP has been criticizing Obama for reading his speeches from a teleprompter for years. But, when Trump does it, he’s being presidential! Go figure…

Bear Backer was referring to Russia which is often symbolized by a bear, like the US is symbolized by an eagle. Then there is a double entendre of bear backer and bare backer… Putin riding a horse bare chested and Trump enamored by Putin and Russia “bear backer”

Must be tough to be a Clintonista when even Lurch lubricates and bends over for Sergey Lavrov increased Russian penetration of Syria.

Well someone is truly delusional!There is one well known politician who is famous for depending on his teleprompter; so dependent in fact that he is incapable of stating nothing but gibberish when more than two feet from his teleprompter. But that politician is NOT Donald Trump. (do the initials BO ring any bells?)As for being controlled by Putin, ’twas not Mr. Trump who gave Putin thousands of tons of uranium, was it? ’Twas not Mr. Trump who promised Putin, via underlings, that he would have more flexibility after the election, was it?
