make Trump unique. Most politicians would never admit they are planning to do
precisely what their constituents do not want, but will wait until after an
election to do it because they know pulling the trigger before would make
voters run for the hills. The president is literally telling Americans that he
is trying to dupe people into voting Republican. Remarkable.”)

Putin in person. I've spoken to him on the phone. He was calmer than you might
expect. The American media has a stereotype of him. He's very deliberate and
measured in his words. I think, at his core, he's someone who cares about Russia's
interests as he sees them. One reason he respects the President is that he
recognizes the President cares about the interests of the American
people." Ponomarenko is a prominent
