Moscow Has a Field Day With Trump's Fireworks at Mt. Russia-More
Kremlin-controlled Russian state media set out to tickle U.S. President Trumps fragile ego amid falling ratings after his blustery appearance at Mount Rushmore on Friday.
Mentioning that the American head of state had previously toyed with the idea he might be featured alongside Washington, Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt, and Lincoln, Russias premier state media channel Rossiya-1 aired a graphic of Trumps mug right up there on the mountain beside them.
Given the frequent allusions on Russian state media to Trump as Moscows friend, even Moscows agent in the White House, maybe the Kremlin would like to see the enormous monument renamed Mount Russia-More.
But there were signs on Saturday, July 4, that, for now, Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin are trying to keep their longstanding bromance in check, at least where the official record is concerned.
Putin sent a telegram congratulating U.S. President Donald J. Trump on Americas Independence Day. Interesting move. By avoiding a phone call Putin also avoided any direct pressure to address reports about the Kremlin paying bounties to the Taliban to kill American soldiers and coalition forces in Afghanistan.
