The New York Times reported on Thursday that Donald Trump was enraged at the news that Russia was working to elect him once again in 2020.

But Russia once again seeking to interfere in our elections wasn't what enraged him. It's that officials sounded the alarm about it.

Trump was so enraged, in fact, that he fired his acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, who briefed Congress on Putin's plans in a February 13th classified briefing.

As a result, #TrumpIsARussianAsset began trending on Twitter, and Hillary Clinton weighed in, going after Trump as "Putin's Puppet."

The "puppet" term was a throwback to one of the most notable moments of Clinton's and Trump's three presidential debates in 2016, in which Clinton said of Putin's desire to see a Trump victory:

"That's because he'd rather have a puppet as president."

Trump then interrupted:

"No puppet. No puppet. You're the puppet. No, you're the puppet."

People shared Clinton's concerns.

Trump Just Mocked Texas AG Ken Paxton's Looks And Speaking Abilities While Championing Him—And It's Awkward AF

Despite throwing his support behind Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton in his race to be a U.S. senator, President Donald Trump nonetheless insulted Paxton's fashion sense and public speaking abilities in a bizarre and freewheeling speech.

Trump was addressing a group of swing-district Republican lawmakers at a dinner at the White House Rose Garden when he reiterated his support for the scandal-ridden Paxton. However, he also seemed to suggest that Paxton isn't a likable candidate even while praising his performance leading the attorney general's office.
