2,833,224

That is now more than the population of America's third-largest city, Chicago, Barack Obama's hometown. Ouch. 48.2%-46.1%.

If Putin had intended to "just" cast doubt on the legitimacy of the way America selects its chief executive (as opposed to helping Trump specifically) he could not have done a better job. How embarrassing. 46.1%, almost three million fewer votes, determined the outcome of the election and turned the Great Republic into a Russian-compliant state. What a disaster.
