a person who serves merely to support or assist others, particularly in doing unpleasant work.
When it comes to this Russian mess, this is the only thing that should be talked about.
Why does Donald Trump defend Vladamir Putin or mention how great he is whenever asked about him? Why does he want to deny so strongly the very plausible idea that Russia hacked the election? When presented with proof today, he will not change his mind on the issue.
It's because he is KNOWINGLY Putin's stooge. There's a connection which will come to light eventually.
