Letter: What Putin said to Trump

(Alexei Nikolsky | Sputnik | Kremlin Pool Photo | The Associated Press) In this photo taken Monday, Jan. 29, 2018, Russian President Vladimir Putin attends the ceremony of signing a 2018-20 general agreement between Russian trade unions, employers and the Russian government in Moscow. The Trump administration late Monday released a long-awaited list of 114 Russian politicians and 96 "oligarchs" who have flourished under Putin, fulfilling a demand by Congress that the U.S. punish Moscow for interfering in the 2016 U.S. election.

… and Putin said with a grump, “So there, Donald Trump, who’s got the Big Button now?”
