Imagine being an American diplomat in Russia on the verge of expulsion, and hearing your @POTUS say this shit.http://ti.me/2uuKujU
There sadly appears to be a fundamental lack of understanding about what diplomats do and the amount of money they cost.
Am I the only one who thinks Trump's "thanks" to Putin was actually a pretty funny/effective troll?

Absolutely epic rant by former Russian Ambassador @McFaul on @realDonaldTrump praising Putin for kicking out our diplomats.
FP 101 lesson
That @realDonaldTrump praised Putin today for cutting 755 people from our embassy in Russia shows that he doesn't understand diplomacy.
Our diplomats, professional staff, and military serving in Russia provide Washington with invaluable information about Russia.https://twitter.com/mcfaul/status/895793641657999360 …
Imagine wanting to know less about Russia's military modernization! That's what Trump praised today.https://twitter.com/mcfaul/status/895794141023485952 …
Imagine wanting to have less capability to gather data about dangerous transnational diseases originating in Russia!Trump seems to want thathttps://twitter.com/mcfaul/status/895794860946374656 …

Punk Putin?! Cmon man ! I know Putin. He is not punked by these silly comments. Putin will see Trumps comments as another sign of weaknesshttps://twitter.com/jjcarafano/status/895794274662567936 …
If that was his intent, he has failed in achieving his objectiveshttps://twitter.com/jjcarafano/status/895794274662567936 …
I get it! Trump's using reverse psychology on Putin ... as some 2nd grade teachers do. Certain to work on a KGB trained killler/dictator.https://twitter.com/jjcarafano/status/895794274662567936 …
