25. Well, this will screw up the economy even more, so he must be very pleased with himself.

Putin is probably giving him pats on the backside for being such a good boy in following directions to kill the U.S. economy. We've more or less killed off travel to and from Canada, and the money they used to spend in the (mostly) northern tier of states. And I'm sure Florida has felt some effects to their resort economy.

I'm still saying that wall he's building will be more to keep us IN than to keep others OUT. At the point, I sure hope even the worst of the magas realize they're living under a dictatorship.
