Nah...no collusion here...

Trump reportedly treats Putin like a 'confidant' and the 2 men commiserate about how the 'fake news' and 'deep state' are against them

President Donald Trump treats Russian President Vladimir Putin as a confidant while bullying and ignoring other world leaders.

Putin, meanwhile, is playing to Trump's strengths and weaknesses — the two men often commiserate over how the "fake news" and "deep state" are against them.

"It's not us," Putin reportedly told Trump during one recent conversation. "It's the subordinates fighting against our friendship."

As horrible as Putin is, he's 1000x smarter than 45 in every way. He's got to hate each second he has to spend with him, while 45 eats it up.
