From 2016:

Hillary Clinton said Wednesday that Donald Trump would be a “puppet” for Russian President Vladimir Putin, if the Republican presidential nominee were elected to the White House.

After Trump attacked Clinton during the third and final presidential debate, saying Putin had “no respect” for her or President Barack Obama, the Democratic nominee shot back, “Well, that’s because he’d rather have a puppet as president of the United States.”

“No puppet. No puppet,” Trump shot back. “You’re the puppet. No, you’re the puppet.”

I was thirsty, and you smashed my water bottle
I was naked, and you called me a pervert
I was sick, and you cut off my insurance
I was in prison, and you called for longer minimum sentences
I was a foreigner, and you demanded to see my papers
