Haha I don't really think that was ever in contention. Funny enough, even the mentally dispossessed people who voted for Trump never really denied that and now they're warming up to Vladimir Putin because now he's been proven by our nation's intelligence agencies to be such a nice guy with their interests at heart LOL...

 However, I don't like people insinuating that they've been great friends always and the two of them have been master planning this for years. That's giving them way too much credit.
