Putin says Americans don't show Trump enough respect

Source: CBS News

Russian President Vladimir Trump says that Americans don't show enough respect for President Trump.

"Mr. Trump was elected by the American people. And at least for this reason it is necessary to show respect for him, even if you do not agree with some of his positions," Putin said at the Valdai International Discussion Club when asked what advice he could give his U.S. counterpart, according to state-run Tass Russian News Agency.

"One can argue but one can't show disrespect, even not for him personally but for those people who voted for him," he said. "I believe that the president of the United States does not need any advice because one has to possess certain talent and go through this trial to be elected, even without having the experience of such big administrative work. He [Trump] has done this."

Putin said that Mr. Trump "won honestly" in the 2016 presidential election.

He's just playing psyops.

He knew he was installing a puppet beholden to Russia, so he sits back and further instructs Americans to follow this incompetent ass off a cliff.

Your operative is gonna be 25thed / impeached soon.

We know you like the 25th / impeach options because it will mess up a lot of people's minds and you will amp up your disruption. Your web brigades will foment civil war talk.

So fuck off and die, Putin.

You know what Trump chants when he thinks no one is listening? This:

Remember when I joined the race
And you got on our knees
And begged me not to run
Because I’d just distract?

WELL

I then ran anyhow, and then
The race got worse and worse.
I won and now I’ve gone completely out of my mind

AND

I’m running the U S A, ha ha
I’m running the U S A
Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha
Like a funny farm
With fake reality all the time
And I’ll be happy to see
Those poor sick men
That get no care
And I’m running the U S A ha haaaaaaaaaaaaa!



You thought I was a joke
And so you laughed, you LAUGHED
When I said make America great
Is just what I’d do.

RIGHT?

I know you laughed
I HEARD you laugh, you laughed
And I went daft
And now you see
I’m William Howard Taft.

AND

I’m running the U S A, ha ha
I’m running the U S A, ho ho, hee hee, ha ha
Like a country club, with eighteen holes
And fawning men and naked girls
Who sit and smile while
I fondle their feet and toes
And I’m running the U S A ha haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Yes, even worse than Trump's arrogance. Putin sticking his mouth in our politics. As if he can say and do anything without any opposition. It is sickening to think he has the nerve to say something like this. If there is any doubt about Putin, then this removes. He knows the election was stolen, he stole it.
He has an arrogance is incredible.

"Those who want respect, give respect." So far your puppet The Orange Dotard hasn't given us any respect in the nearly 10 months he's been in office. So do us a favor and STFU Mr. Putin!! Just because you give the finger to your own people daily in your country don't mean we'll tolerate it here!!

that we don't give Trump the respect he deserves.

I thought about it a week ago, when I drove past the Trump Towers in Miami Beach.

The only way I would go into a Trump building would be to use the toilet

.
.
.
.
.
and not flush

.
.
.
.
.
.
and THAT would still be more respect than he deserves.
