This from Russia Today:

'Deep State' wins… Trump is being tamed to toe the line

I see Flint getting mad at Mattis...
I see a video being leaked soon...

I suppose that might be what US politics looks like to those on the outside.  But that article was pretty silly.  [/quote]
Agreed.   What a lot of b.s.  This line is my favorite:

"Trump’s electioneering based on restoring more balanced foreign relations, in particular toward Russia, probably won him many votes from [b]American citizens who are sick and tired of decades-old warmongering[/b]. "

Because we all know that Trump's supporters are the peace-loving, non-militaristic types, right?  :roll: [/quote]
You are totally missing the point.  This is not about whether the article is accurate, it's about the RT painting Trump as sympathetic to Russia and being tamed by American elites.

Trump is being used as a prop for Russian propaganda as a way of discrediting the American democracy.  And even unsubstantiated questions about his allegiances gives this idea more weight.  The truth truly does not matter anymore, the damage is done.[/quote]

In addition to what PP said above, with which I agree, I would also highlight that many who voted for Trump did so also because they thought "Clinton was going to get us in another war". Because he lies so much, he managed to get votes from both pro-war and against-war types.
Anyhow, I am actually happy that Pence's appointee Mattis (who appropriately has already got into fights with pro-Russia traitor Flint) will not cozy up to Russia, Trump or no Trump.[/quote]
