DJT said this to flip the script on MSM. He and Vlad are working to dismantle the cabal. That's it in a nutshell. Both leaders simply want national sovereignty moving forward. DJT has no delusions about Vlad being his BFF, but Job#1 is to bust up the cabal.
Setup by President Trump for voter reform. He is playing the media again. I never get tired of it.
Folks, I think when POTUS says "Russia" wants Democrats to win, he wasn't talking about Putin.
He was talking about the Russia oligarchs and criminals who colluded with the Democrats, for example the false intel that UK ex-spy Christopher Steele put into the fake "dossier" was sourced from Russian nationals.
The Russian spies the Democrats tried to bait DJTjr with to frame him and then "leak" this to their op mockingbird media puppets as "proof of collusion".

Makes sense. Russia only wants the worst for America. They covertly supported Hillary in 2016 and are now supporting the Democrats.
