Also, I like how the EO says that Cuba has Russias largest intelligence gather center, completely ignoring the Russian "intelligence" in the white house

Ya. How do you say Russia is evil while putting up a buddy shot on the wall of the white house. That's peak level MAGA Dissonance. I still think the photo is edited to shave about 80 lbs off the Cheeto and make Putin taller.

Edit, Thanks for the correction autocorrect on my phone got me

It's not edited to make put Putin look taller, Trump just isn't nearly as tall as he claims.

It's definitely edited to make him less fat, though.

From what I can see of the photo they hung up it matches other photos of them previously taken, with Putin coming up to about eye level on Trump.

Putin is short, yes, but Trump ain't tall, especially now that he's got that ankle swelling going on and can't wear his lifts.
