The president-elect replied via a statement from his transition team, “A very nice letter from Vladimir Putin; his thoughts are so correct. I hope both sides are able to live up to these thoughts, and we do not have to travel an alternate path.”

The American people should be very concerned. The man who is suggesting cooperation with Trump just used his military to help a fellow dictator carry out the slaughter of innocent civilians in Syria. Putin is clearly pulling the strings of the incoming US president, and what’s even worse is the president-elect is happy to be Vlad’s puppet.
“His thoughts are so correct.”
Burn those words into your mind, because America will be putting into office a president who views Putin as a hero and role model.
