Putin Tells Trump That 'Deep State' Is Against Them

https://politicalwire.com/2018/07/07/putin-tells-trump-that-the-deep-state-is-against-them/

"SNIP........


Some White House officials worry that Russian president Vladimir Putin,” who has held several calls with Trump, plays on the president’s inexperience and lack of detailed knowledge about issues while stoking Trump’s grievances,” the Washington Post reports.

“The Russian president complains to Trump about ‘fake news’ and laments that the U.S. foreign policy establishment — the ‘deep state,’ in Putin’s words — is conspiring against them, the first senior U.S. official said.”

Putin has told Trump: “It’s not us. It’s the subordinates fighting against our friendship.”

And he has proven quite good at it. Hell, every 2-bit dictator has been able to play Trump like a fiddle. They know what makes the dotard tick. He is one of them, but dumber.

7. By now, anyone who doesn't acknowledge that we're getting seriously fucked, is utterly lost.

By now, anyone who doesn’t acknowledge that we're getting seriously fucked, is utterly lost, in some kind of trance. Sorry for the rough language, but this is deadly serious. The U.S. has been under attack, and a soft coup (not so soft now) has taken place. Americans’ shared history, tradition, protocol, have all been turned on their heads. A deeper resentment is growing between liberals and conservatives (those terms seem quaint now). If it’s allowed to fester...I can’t finish this sentence, I don’t want to go there.

Which is exactly what Putin wants, and about which the Trump team have conspired: flood the media with so much outrageous crap, until the citizenry is staggering under the weight of it, dumbfounded and exhausted.
