Nov 10

he's a bargaining chip. Trump is in a little different position this time. He has something Putin wants.

Trump has been humiliated by Putin. That has to sting the old ego. Trump might, just MIGHT, realize he isn't going to live long enough to build a hotel in Moscow. He'll have different terms this time around.

Does Putin have kompromat on Trump? Does Trump care?

The bargaining positions may have moved if only slightly.

Question is....what does Trump want from Putin?
