It's overwhelming that tRump has so many around him, past and present, with deep Russian ties.

Maybe I'm stereotyping but I think younger folks think us baby boomers are too "reactionary" about Russia considering what we went through...duck and cover drills in elementary school come to mind.
The Russian people are suffering under a brutally repressive governmental system that most Republicans envy and confuse with "strength". And based on the Trump Administration they apparently want a similar system for us right here in the USA.
