‘Russia, I hope you find them’

DONALD Trump has a weird message for Russia. While other Americans see Vladimir Putin as a threat, he’s egging him on.

A woman walks past a mural on a restaurant wall depicting US Presidential hopeful Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin greeting each other with a kiss in the Lithuanian capital Vilnius on May 13, 2016.

Trump has notoriously stated that Putin is a strong leader, and that NATO is ‘obsolete and expensive.’ / AFP PHOTO / Petras Malukas
