Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev: Trump is an ‘incompetent player’ who will be ‘liquidated’ by the US establishment
On Wednesday, President Trump signed a new sanctions bill targeting Russia. Russia has reacted with unrestrained fury. Indeed, fury is an understatement.
In a Facebook post specifically referencing Trump, the Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev (No. 2 only to Putin), warned that Congress sees Trump as “an incompetent player” who must be “liquidated”.
Yes, you read that right.
While Medvedev is suggesting that Congress will liquidate Trump for opposing their efforts to sanction Russia, this also reeks of a Russian warning to Trump specifically. The rest of Medvedev’s post was equally aggressive. He suggested that Trump has shown “complete impotence, in the most humiliating manner, transferring executive powers to Congress” and that this is the “beginning of full-fledged trade war” and “the end of our hopes of improving relations with the new administration.”
Let’s be clear, this a very cold, very traditional Russian threat. And if it comes from Medvedev, it comes from Putin.

The Trump administration has shown its total weakness by handing over executive power to Congress in the most humiliating way

Yep. Trump wasn’t able to deliver what he promised. The Russians know just where to poke Trump with a stick.
The US establishment fully outwitted Trump. The President is not happy about the sanctions, yet he could not but sign the bill

Our relationship with Russia is at an all-time & very dangerous low. You can thank Congress, the same people that can't even give us HCare!

Trump is far more exercised about Congress/sanctions than he is about Russian attempts to interfere in our politics. https://t.co/WmOZsmEV8M
