You misunderstand my "under wraps" suggestion and turned it into a nefarious negative as you are so artful at doing, I hope you are wrong in your assessment. I suspect you are secretly hoping you are correct. Still, Merry Christmas, I think that is something we can agree on. joehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08520161706680568508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3435235471457118706.post-62886266336103200092016-12-20T11:03:39.263-06:002016-12-20T11:03:39.263-06:00I think Trump will deal with Russia and Putin the ...I think Trump will deal with Russia and Putin the same way he'll deal with any issue: what is best for him. What is best for the US is a far second in his mind. <br />Joeh, I think he'll take the advise of your last sentence.
