Trump Trolls Putin

[JohnVoight]

What is everyone's reaction to this? Anti-trumpers are predictably upset for reasons such as "it belittles the contribution/important work of the 755 diplomats that are being let go" to "OMG HE JUST THANKED/KOWTOWED to PUTIN!!!"

I view it as a troll job, no different than when Putin belittled Obama after he kicked out Russian diplomats. Second, we are being told that US-Russia relations are as low as they've ever been post-Cold War. My question then is "how effective are these 755 displaced diplomats to begin with?" From that perspective, Trump may have a completely valid point with cost savings (even though it's a troll job).

It doesn't infuriate me or anything. I just think he should be more focused on things more important than internet trolling.

It was obvious sarcasm.

CNN treated it like he literally thought he was reducing the government payroll. It was pathetic to hear them contort logic to paint Trump as an idiot.

That 15 seconds could have changed everything, huh?

Obviously I wasn't talking about the single tweet or even the time spent trolling. I was talking about his entire propensity to troll on twitter and the harm he does to his own agenda with that nonsense.
