Lol, your delusional!
CNN has been slandering Trump way before he was elected and only got worse after the election. They're not even attempting to look unbiased at this point and they print an individual journalists opinion as if it was fact. Clinton News Network got its nickname for a reason and it isn't because they contain even a shred of integrity or honesty. They're part of the reason there are so many who no longer get their news from major networks because they realize it isn't investigative journalism anymore. Earlier in this thread I highlighted all the falsities, outright lies or "spins" these major news networks have told in an article that has been keeping track of their errors. PatheticLol, your delusional!

I would like to think most meso members are above your racist post and most of them won't find them very funny.
Weak minded!
Yes - at the beginning, it will look like the start of a beautiful friendship. Putin won't be himself if he doesn't try and dupe Trump into concessions on Ukraine and Syria. In exchange, he might hand over Edward Snowden to the US. He will have no qualms about it because he views Snowden as a traitor who is now biting the hand that feeds him by openly criticising internet censorship in Russia.
But ultimately the Kremlin has other designs for Trump. The pillar that supports the political regime in Russia is the besieged fortress mentality; it is natural for a people who have seen nothing but misery and genocide for most of the previous century.
To maintain this worldview, it's vital to have a powerful enemy that attacks Russian interests across the globe, an omnipotent alien force which ordinary Russians can blame for their misfortunes and bleak, unhappy life.
Apart from coming across as cynical and ruthless, the enemy should be suitably cartoonish and capable of feeding Russian propaganda with ridiculous gaffes and bizarre escapades. George W Bush suited this description ideally. Barack Obama, on the other hand, was problematic - too clever, too cautious and surrounded by people who actually understand what modern Russia is. Obama was hard to hate.
Now Trump is even better than Bush. Rude and ruthless, but also clueless on so many issues, self-contradicting, mind-bogglingly disingenuous - he is an epitome of an American oligarch. To someone who grew up in the USSR, Trump is a twin brother of "Mister Twister, ex-minister", a character from a Soviet children's poem by Samuil Marshak, who satirised American capitalism in the 1930s. Millions of Russians still remember it by heart. Trump is a walking caricature of America, a gift to the Russian propaganda machine which the Kremlin couldn't even dream of.
The ideological proximity of Trump and Putin shouldn't fool anyone. Yes, they are both members of the global populist movement that has almost completely erased the 20th-century left-right division. They also have very similar constituencies.
