Link to tweet
At least one person stands to gain something from President Donald Trumps friendly relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft really wants one of his four Super Bowl rings back from Putin ― whom he alleges stole it from him during an encounter in 2005 ― and he hopes Trump will be able to broker the deal.
I was willing to have (a replica ring) made with his name on it in hopes Putin would exchange it for the original, Kraft told Fox Sports during Sundays pre-Super Bowl show. Maybe we will have the new president (Trump) bring it to him when he connects with him.

(16,887 posts)1. Is this story for real? If so, it gives me chills about Putin's personality but also the "lie" that
....it was a "gift" as Kraft was directed to say by the Bush White House...
Putin takes what Putin wants...and it seems the precedent was set by another Republican Preaident to allow it and not question it...

Spend less time worrying about your effing ring and more time worrying about what your pal is doing to our country.
