    Would Russians vote for Trump as president of Russia, though?

      We don’t get to vote over here, unfortunately. There’s this whole spectacle of ballot casting, but there is no vote counting. Even if there was, there’s nobody left to watch over them as every opposition party member is either in jail or exiled.

      But even if there were fair elections, I believe most of the support from Russians in a 2016 election was more of a “haha, watch the US destroy itself by electing an imbecile”, rather than actually believing what Trump’s had to say. So… probably not.
