but no one seems to know what Trump meant by "delay." He undoubtedly has communication conduits with Putin and the Kremlin that have nothing to do with our own national intelligence briefings.

Btw, Trump then pinned the tweet to his profile (!!!), ensuring it is the first thing seen by anyone viewing his account. Vanity Fair: "It appears to be the first time Trump has ever used the feature. Just to make sure nobody missed it, Trump also posted the tweet as a graphic on Instagram."

And no doubt he has stuff to blackmail Trump w/too.

“I’ve got to use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing him.” Trump says on the recording. “You know, I’m automatically attracted to beautiful Putin — I just start kissing him. He’s like a magnet. I Just kiss. I don’t even wait.”

when you go to someone's personal page you see their tweets in chronological order, most recent first. by pinning a tweet you "pin" it to the top of your page so it is ALWAYS the first tweet people see on your page. people use pinning for things that are VERY important to them which, as Drumpf has shown us, is his relationship with Putin.

at the moment. That's why it's even worse-also I don't think he pinned anything before. You can only pin something in your own words too-not someone else's tweets or it would need to be in quotes.

Doesn't know right from wrong, a trait he and Pooty seem to share and relate to in each other. Both will say or do anything to anybody if it means more power, profit, or fame. Both apparently have some background of working with organized crime. A trait more common these days after several decades of amoral, depersonalized, globalized, financialized, corporate economy.
