Putin's press conference indicate to me that Putin played trump for the fool he is. The press

conference in my view indicates Putin is very savey, and trump was such a degenerate moron, whose only interest was self-interest over the country.

It will be interesting to hear President Biden's follow-up

One thing Putin's press conference demonstrated to me is Putin does NOT have a sense of humor

Mind you, Putin is 5'7" and trump is 6'3".

From the beginning, Biden towered over Putin. Biden's authenticity & sincerity was an obvious & attractive contrast to Putin.

If you're feeling exceptionally generous, he's maybe 6'1".

However, your point stands, no pun intended!

gullible enough to believe tons of nonsense scenarios of the boogie man, etc., you name it. As a matter of fact, it seems like any republican such as those in AZ examining the ballots for bamboo fibers etc. proves. If you're a rump republican, you're a joke (use as a campaign scenario, many 'regular' republicans would agree w/ me, probably wish for the 'old' republican party to reassert itself). One of the political statements I've read said that political parties go from one extreme to the other extreme. Perhaps w/ rump and his goons at one end of the extreme, the other extreme of the republican party is now coming into play, and that cooler heads in the republican (non-rump) party come into play.
