but potentially a Trillion times more deadly than the original one.
All I know is he went to Russia back in 1987, can't remember if he was wanting to build one of his Trump Towers over there, or whether it had to do with the Beauty contest "business" (or both), but when he got back stateside he put a full length page ad in the NYTs along the lines of getting rid of NATO. Maybe Russia looked at him as an asset at that point. But. When Barack Obama gave his speech at that WH Correspondent's Dinner where he made a total fool out of DJT in his presence, that was the moment when the bad boy became a full on Agent. IMHO.
