Trump is too obvious, too stupid. So much so that now people are starting to question this rapprochement with Russia. It's actually backfired.

Putin's objective is not just chaos in the US. That's the icing on the cake.

What he wants is the lifting of sanctions on Russia and that objective is receding with every day that passes.

He will rue the day when he thought this was a clever idea.
