President Donald Trump‘s inauguration is also being celebrated in Russia with parties, commemorative coins and “matryoshka” nesting dolls as that country looks forward to a new era of detente.
Putin critic Gennady Gudkov told Reuters it’s nothing short of “Trumpomania.” Um, what? This is mind-boggling.
The Kremlin is hoping Trump will pull back on economic sanctions imposed by the Obama administration after Russia’s annexation of Crimea, Gudkov said. They’re also hoping the US will now team up with Russia in fighting Islamic State, and that Trump will roll back NATO military activity near their western borders.
With the above in mind, there are still many out there who are not celebrating Trump’s presidency as much as Russia:
Trump and Puting released pretty much identical nuke policies on the same day last week. Everything is fine.

Among the Trump tchotchke’s now in vogue are nesting dolls in the new US president’s likeness, and limited-edition silver and gold commemorative coins, minted by craftsmen in the city of Zlatoust, east of Moscow.
