YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPutin’s Downfall: A satire video of Russian President Vladimir Putin getting the news that Donald Trump just suggested shooting Hillary, and may now lose the US presidential election. Background on the video, below:
There's been a lot of reporting recently on the troubling connections between Donald Trump, key members of his presidential campaign, and the Russians. Things only grew more heated when it became clear that the Russian government was responsible for breaking into and stealing a large number of emails from the Democratic party headquarters in Washington, DC -- but there's no evidence the Russians bothered targeting the Republicans. Those emails subsequently made their way to Wikileaks, which was happy to publish them in a manner intended to cause maximum harm to Hillary Clinton's presidential race. (Wikileaks' Julian Assange has already admitted that his intent is to harm Hillary.)
That's the general background behind this video. Here are more sources for the information in the video, should the topic interest you:
