You MAGAts are mistaking your short memories for clean consciences. Trump and Pooty are supposed to be buddies, remember?
Nobody is desperate for failure here but it would be helpful at this point for the MAGAt cult members here to FINALLY admit that Trump's been full of shit all this time about his cozy relationship with Vlad and that all Trump has been so far is Putin's useful idiot in The White House.
It's a little late for Trump to try putting on his tough guy costume here. Putin (just like all other world leaders) doesn't even take Trump seriously. They all know he's a joke.
