There is no full translation available yet of this appearance on Russian TV by Maria Zakharova today:

I'll post the source of these statements below.
There's been lots of speculation in the responses to Davis's tweets. Some people see this as a Russian warning to Trump -- which really shouldn't be necessary, since I doubt Trump is unfamiliar with what's happened to so many of the people Putin viewed as enemies or opponents. Others even suggest that if the Russians decide to get rid of Trump, they'd want to make it look as though his opponents here in America did it.
I don't speak Russian. I'd be curious about what anyone here who's fluent in Russian gets from Zakharova's comments (YouTube link below).
I've been searching for anything else about this, haven't found anything yet. I found Davis's tweets through a retweet by John Schindler.

(180 posts)The moment Trump is no longer a useful idiot, Putin will take him out-- physically or politically I don't know but certainly one of them

(63,225 posts)he looks exactly like the crazy homeless guy who used to hang out at the 24/7 Hardee's where I worked in the early 90s.
That guy wore a similar cap, and he wore it better.
yeah, and this was Trump at his finest at Bedminster during the Women's Open
What a loser he is!

(49,041 posts)This is always a possibility, too.
Though Zakharova's "look at US history" comment doesn't mesh very well with the possibility of the Russians releasing kompromat.
