    Who has the best crystal ball?

    I believe that was a total guess and a wish on behalf of Ann the devotee of Mr. Trump because nobody, back in 2015, not in their wildest dreams, thought of Russians going to the extend of pouring millions of dollars into online troll farms in order to sway the opinion of so many dumb-ass...
