Here are the last three tweets from Comrade Donald.

Having a good relationship with Russia is a good thing, not a bad thing. Only “stupid” people, or fools, would think that it is bad! We…..

have enough problems around the world without yet another one. When I am President, Russia will respect us far more than they do now and….

both countries will, perhaps, work together to solve some of the many great and pressing problems and issues of the WORLD!

Notice he still refuses to acknowledge the implications of the hack. Nor does he admit any notion that we must respond. Most remarkable of all is the final tweet, in which he believes that Putin and he can work together to solve “some of the great and many pressing problems and issues of the WORLD”. Putin, billionaire, is someone Trump thinks he can work with. Only people as smart and successful as billionaires can fix our problems. Certainly not “stupid” people, or fools (which apparently includes just about everyone who doesn’t read RT, Breitbart or watch Sean Hannity.) I’ve suspected this affinity of Trump’s for his fellow billionaires was the reason for his Putin bromance. He sees Putin as a businessman rather than as a crooked authoritarian, and Putin’s viciously kleptocratic impulses are not a problem for Trump (indeed, they might be a positive). And he clearly thinks that he and Putin are intellectual equals. Well, maybe Putin is the smarter of the two (Trump always knew V. Putin was very smart!), which is why The Donald seems to bow to Vlad’s judgment and wisdom. Afterall, he just flatly rejected the thinking of the entire US intelligence establishment because he trusts Putin. And while all this might seem completely inane (if not insane) to us stupid fools, it makes perfect sense once you realize that the world has many great and pressing problems and only comrades Donald and Putin can fix them. There is no one else on the world scene that Trump sees as a worthy equal partner. No one. Certainly not the inscrutable Chinese, nor any of the losers in NATO nor that loathesome European Union. No one else is smart enough to be on the plane of Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin (though Trump’s plane, he would point out, is much nicer, with gold trimming and beautiful stewardesses and everything). No one else is great enough. No one else understands the art of the deal. Certainly no one else can make America (and Russia) great again.

Putin, of course, must think Trump is a jackass.
