In reply to the discussion: Trump: I have been tougher on Russia that any other president [View all]jmowreader
(50,557 posts)41. He has, but not in the way most of us think of it
It's been tough for Russia's oligarch class to deal with an orange pustule that doesn't pay its debts.
Please understand, it's not that I feel sorry for their oligarch class; if anyone's stupid enough to loan money to Donald Trump they deserve everything they get. However, I don't think we've ever had a president get whacked by a foreign power before and we really don't need there to be a first time.
