I take that as inferring that Trump is a communist. While I acknowledge that I could be wrong: Trump is no communist. Not by a long-shot. In my opinion, U.S. communists for example like W.E.B. DuBois, made positive contributions to this country. Trump is no communist.

I think it's an *awesome* way to link him with Russia.

because Obama's poll numbers weren't great some 2-3 years ago, that was apparently proof of what an awful President he is!!

Look, I love them because they're family, but they're not exactly deep thinkers in a political sense!
