As per the report, although he has yet to announce his candidacy, Putin is widely expected to run and to win comfortably. The temperature of water in the lakes seldom goes above 17 degrees Celsius, but "it did not hold back the president from taking a swim".

The President had to recently deny that he called the White House a "real dump" after he was quoted saying that to members and staffers at the Trump National Golf Club, according to a Sports Illustrated article. While he's gone, the White House is getting some "much-needed" renovations.
