Since Trump won, some of the most influential people in America seem to have lost any will to stand up to him as he goes about transforming America into the sort of authoritarian oligarchy he admires.

So, where will the opposition to Trump come from?

Putin's words are insulting and provocative to Trump We don't need a weak president, we need a leader who will stand up for American interests and staunchly defend democracy, not a weak figure who bows to dictators
Holy sh*t.

In a speech, Putin suggests Trump might not finish his term alive:

“Trump is not even safe now, but I hope he is a smart and cautious person,” — Putin

In Putin’s doublespeak, this could be a threat.
