Steve Witkoff said the Russian leader had an artist paint a portrait of Trump and gave it to the American president as a gift. Witkoff called Putin “super smart” and not “a bad guy.”

More like a dollar store kazoo. Anyone can do it-- he's so fucking dumb you just have to tell him he's the bestest and smartest boy ever, and maybe tell him his hands are big, and he'll give you anything you want.

Of course Putin prayed for the wellbeing of his best American asset.

Our glorious leader and his good friend Putin. I am sure we are in good hands. /s

I'm sure he did. Who else but Trump as President of the US Russia Oblast?

If Trump died it'd have been a huge wrench in the decades-spanning Russian plans for slow destabilization of the west.

You're exactly right with that second part. The Cold War never ended, it just got colder. We severely underestimated the deviousness of Russian leadership. They 100% started playing the long game once they realized they lost the short game in 1991.

Putin knows how to deal with autocrats.

Putin, who does he pray to? We all know the answer right.

Yes, John 8:44 is very fitting:

You are of your father the devil, and your will is to do your father 's desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, and does not stand in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks out of his own character, for he is a liar and the father of lies.

trump’s SS recruited Crooks to “help out” with their security detail, then when trump gave the cue for everyone to look to the right, trump’s SS simultaneously murdered Crooks while another SS on the watertower behind Crooks shot into the crowd, killing Comperatore. Nobody fired at trump. This is unequivocally what really happened.
