They were wrong on Trump who is likely to emerge as one of America’s most popular presidents; perhaps they are wrong on Putin as well. Both dealt with the Deep State, Putin on his border dealing with an installed Deep State American government with 13, potentially very dangerous, American-built bio labs, and Trump with a Deep State coup d’état removing him in 2020 as the duly elected president. The Deep State plan has been to provoke war with Rus...
