'Take Biden and Trump down!' In Moscow, neither U.S. candidate appeals

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Vladimir Zhirinovsky, a staunch ally of President Vladimir Putin, threw a champagne party in Russia's parliament in 2016 to toast Donald Trump's presidential election victory.

But this weekend, the veteran lawmaker says his youth activists will be outside the U.S. embassy in Moscow chanting "Take Biden and Trump Down!" ahead of Tuesday's election.

"He (Trump) has done nothing good for us," Zhirinovsky, head of the Liberal Democratic Party of Russia, told Reuters.

"But we're acting according to the Russian saying that you choose the lesser of two evils. Biden is too great an evil."

Meaning he's not the easily manipulated idiot Trump is.

Biden should be honored to be called, by Russians, “the lesser of two evils.”

That said, I suspect Trump is butthurt that he’s not getting credit for everything he has done for Russia.

Trump: “I have done more for the Russian people than any President in the history of forever (except, maybe, Lincoln).”
