Interesting comments from Mig Greengard, Kasparov's aide, with a comment from Kasparov:

It's handy that you can get most of Trump's tweets a day in advance by browsing the Kremlin-friendly Russian web. True during campaign, too.
It's clear he has no idea about any of these things, & he's getting his talking points from somewhere. Nearly always match the Kremlin line.
I spend way too much time on Russian news for work, and it's creepy how the Kremlin-coordinated talking points are Trump tweets in 24 hrs.
Read (don't really) Russia Today & Sputnik for a few days and time their talking points re hacking, NATO, CIA, Hillary, Obama with Trump's.
I don't mean actual intel, but the spin in reply to it. The denials & obfuscation the Kremlin specializes in, regurgitated in 140 by Trump.

Garry Kasparov's comment on the first tweet there:

Yes, if you read the Russian propaganda you can predict what Trump will tweet next with uncanny accuracy.

Cool would be if we could find evidence of them directly feeding him tweets

... but curiously also had the capabilities to act as a super-secure, direct connection to it's sister server in the Russian Bank, capable of hosting a direct connection, digital telephone line, which has the capability to bypass the traditional ITP Internet communiation protocol. A Russian Bank, incidental that is known to be Putin controlled.
