Friend,

As we often say, imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. 

We knew the Russians would want to commend Donald Trump and his MAGA cronies. 

After all, who's done more for Russia than Donald Trump? Nobody. 

So we called them out for it: 

That one ruffled a lot of feathers at Mar-A-Lago. We know it's in the big orange traitor’s head. 

But it apparently got quite a few eyeballs in the Kremlin as well. 

Now, Putin's taking a page out of the Lincoln Project playbook. Seriously. 

He's awarding one of Trump's staffers with the Order of Lenin, which hasn't been around since… basically, the days of Joe Stalin. It's a fake award designed to troll. Sound familiar? 

We've always been the tip of the spear and we know exactly how to get into Trump's head. We don't have the pee tape or whatever kompromat Putin definitely has on Trump, but we do have a direct line into that tiny little skull of his. So much so that when the Russians need to inflict a little extra psychological warfare on Donald Trump, they're copying us. 

Donald Trump is easily manipulated. He always has been. It's one thing for us to steer him into fits of rage that cost him elections. It's another for a foreign power to so easily be able to get under his skin. We will all do well to remember that come next year and come 2028. 

Make no mistake, Donald Trump is Putin’s puppet. Sometimes the Kremlin has decided he needs a little smacking on the side of the head to stay in line. He's just too stupid to figure it out.

If you think anything is going to come out of this Alaska meeting on Friday, think again. Trump will fold, the war will continue, and Putin’s grasp on Trump will tighten. We’ve seen this before.

We want Russia out of the White House. Plain and simple. Help us make sure Trump loses his power next year so Putin does too >>
