Whiny Donny claims that Putin "played Obama," or something like that

[question everything]

1. It didn't look like Obama was playing

He hurt Putin so bad that Putin had to buy a president to fix it.

What both fail to mention is that the vote effectively took place under profoundly undemocratic conditions. The Kremlin dominated the media, tightly controlled voting and harshly suppressed any expressions of dissent (especially among the Tatars, who overwhelmingly continue to support Ukrainian sovereignty over the territory) ...
