Re-upping this in light of recent revelations. A full 18 months before Trump announced he was running for President, an advisor to the Minister for Economic Development in Russia was tweeting about a possible Trump presidency. Perhaps just idle chat amongst business associates.
She was in the news back in February 2018, that's when I stumbled across this tweet. Interestingly, this English language account, which had been very active, went largely dormant after mid-February. She also now has 150K fewer followers.
She's still a big fan of Putin, unsurprisingly given that she works for his ministry of economic development. And she's also excited about resetting the US/Russian relationship along lines articulated in Helsinki. 
Over on her other, official account (which is largely in Russian), business goes on as usual...boosting Russian businesses at home and traveling around the world to attend various trade summits.
Don't want folks to get the idea that I'm some sort of Russian conspiracy theorist. I'm just curious to learn about the texture of Trump's longstanding ties to folks in that country...could be innocent, could be not so innocent.
The fact that he would tell so many obvious lies about it (I have nothing to do with Russia) does make me suspect that there's *something* there...what that something is, however, remains to be seen.
There was an interesting flurry of pro-Trump posts on her account soon after the election.
And a few tweets about a Russian/US relationship reset...but then the tweets about American politics largely ended.
