DT's very weird 2014/2015 Russia-related tweets.

https://www.pastemagazine.com/articles/2017/05/trump-tweeted-nine-times-to-deleted-russian-twitte.html

From November 2014 through January 2015, five months before he announced his bid for the Presidency, Donald Trump fired off nine weird tweets to two Russian accounts about running for President. And this, as far as I can tell, hasn’t been reported anywhere.

All these tweets are still live. At least for now. You can read them here; just search “Russia” and scroll down. Two of the accounts were @VladimirRussia7 and @russiannavyblog, and they’ve since been deactivated, and I believe @russiannavyblog deleted his account last night, after I first retweeted his Trump tweets. I’m close to certain he’s ex-CIA, but more on that in a little. Anyway, those handles are dead, but the tagged accounts on some of these tweets are still active, including one apparently belonging to a British medical journalist and human rights activist Dr. Rita Pal; someone with the handle @russia890; and, of course, @monkiekaty.

SNIP

Mr. Navyblog, if I scared you into deleting your account, I hope I didn't, but I'm sorry. Thanks for the easter eggs: you tricked Mr. Trump, the improbable President of the United States of America, into making fun of his own candidacy by mocking him so flagrantly he mistook you for a likeminded vainglorious gasbag.

This brings me to my point. We elected a doddering, pig-eyed maniac who thought this tweet was a fucking endorsement:
