That’s right—the world’s most denial-prone dictator let the mask slip. (Somewhere a propaganda writer is being reassigned to “forever nap duty.”)📸 And finally, Donald Trump is showing off a photo of himself with Vladimir Putin, as if it’s senior prom all over again. It’s the kind of flex that makes you wonder if his campaign strategy is just running on nostalgia and glossy prints.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
