В прошлом году я сделал этот снимок в ФБ. Оставлю здесь, чтобы не забыть, какие российские персонажи помогали нашему т.н. президенту выиграть выборы. И почему.

Одна из первых статей по теме в американской прессе (в июле 2016) заканчивалась цитатой из Кости Рыкова.

If Putin wanted to concoct the ideal candidate to serve his purposes, his laboratory creation would look like Donald Trump. The Republican nominee wants to shatter our military alliances in Europe; he cheers the destruction of the European Union; he favors ratcheting down tensions with Russia over Ukraine and Syria, both as a matter of foreign policy and in service of his own pecuniary interests. A Trump presidency would weaken Putin’s greatest geo-strategic competitor. By stoking racial hatred, Trump will shred the fabric of American society. He advertises his willingness to dismantle constitutional limits on executive power. In his desire to renegotiate debt payments, he would ruin the full faith and credit of the United States. One pro-Kremlin blogger summed up his government’s interest in this election with clarifying bluntness: “Trump will smash America as we know it, we’ve got nothing to lose.”

Они явно не рассчитывали, что Конгресс не даст Трампу снять санкции.
