When Vladimir Putin invested a small fortune to try and get Donald Trump elected in 2016, he knew he might be flushing his rubles down the crapper.
But with Russia’s help, Trump shocked the world and won the presidency (well not the popular vote but the antiquated Electoral College vote).
Now that Trump is about to leave office, it’s safe to say Putin could never have imagined how successful his investment to smear Clinton and promote Trump would turn out to be!
And while Trump did not win a second term, for Vladimir, the chaos, division, violence and mockery Trump wrought on the United States is priceless, far outweighing the billions spent on conventional weaponry like nukes, tanks and planes.
But we did win the Cold War, right?

No nation should ever be allowed to work directly to influence an American election–unless it’s to help Donald Trump. Then it’s OK and all part of Make America Great Again!

So where’s the proof Putin invested money in Trump’s election? I’ve listened to robots of the war criminal Hillary make these claims for years without a shred of evidence. So let’s see the proof.
BTW don’t accuse me of being a Trump supporter either unless you have proof. That couldn’t be further from the truth.
You might explain how 140 million dollars of RosAtom money wound up in the Clinton Foundation. If anyone was guilty of colluding with Russia, it was the Clintons. Unless you’re going to tell me RosAtom gave that moneyout of the kindness of their heart.

The Republican-led Senate Intelligence Committee found Russia interfered in the 2016 presidential election to help Trump win, backing the conclusions of intelligence agencies.
Did you miss that?
