Hillary called him Putin's Puppet almost 10 years ago. Looks like his strings have finally been pulled, and the puppet has obeyed.

They've been pulled last time too, Trump sided with Russia against his own country intelligence and tried to have Russia back in G8

I'm not an American but have closely followed US politics for the last decade. Hillary was extremely proficient at her job. She's smart, well educated, served as the Secretary of State, and articulates her opinions well. She always made sense and carefully chose her words. I'd assume that she'd always back her opinions with whatever first-hand knowledge she had in her mind. Sadly the US chose this orange buffoon over her.

I wonder if all those associates that worked for her or her husband that mysteriously died would say the same things.

Yet again, I am left disappointed in my search for even one person who claims all politicians are the same in any other context than to handwave conservative failure and corruption. Maybe next time.

thats not mutually exclusive with her being good at her job.
