It’s unreal how much Trump sucks up to Putin.
Russia, not the US, invaded Crimea. Blame Putin, not Obama!
Trump quote in this article:
“You’ll have to ask Obama, because he was the one that let Crimea get away” he said when asked about the annexation. “He allowed Russia to take Crimea. I may have had a much different attitude.”
Here’s Paul Krugman’s opinion of the G7 and some of his tweets from earlier today. He wrote about Trump: ” He didn’t put America first; Russia first would be a better description. And he didn’t demand drastic policy changes from our allies; he demanded that they stop doing bad things they aren’t doing. This wasn’t a tough stance on behalf of American interests, it was a declaration of ignorance and policy insanity.”
There is no rational way to explain Trump’s suggestion that Russia should be readmitted to the G7 unless Russia has something on him. Russia was expelled because of their attack on the Ukraine. Since then, there was their meddling in the US election and the poisoning in the UK. There is no way they should be allowed back.
Trump has alienated our allies and put tariffs on him. He has taken the US out of the Iran accord but has nothing to replace it. He made the US the only country that is not in the Paris climate agreement. He withdrew from the TPP but has nothing instead. Asian countries will trade without us. Do you really think he can make deals? He has multiple bankruptcies, stiffed contractors, and pulled the Trump University scam. I don’t see how he is capable of making good deals that will help the US. He’s just a bully and liar.
He attacks our allies but sucks up to North Korea.
Putin must be thrilled by Trump’s disgraceful behavior.
Sad!
Update:
The Trump administration still hasn’t imposed sanctions on Russia passed by Congress. (I forgot to post this a few weeks ago but couldn’t find any change to the situation). What does Russia have on Trump?
The Trump administration has upset many US allies. Do we have any left?

If we have any allies left after all of his terrible behavior…..
Then the president wants to help Chinese firm ZTE.
The article states: “Even as Mr. Trump contends with Beijing on issues like security and trade, his family and the company that bears his name are trying to make money off their brand in China’s flush and potentially promising market.”
It sure looks like a conflict of interest to me!
Trump said the New York Times made up a source in an article on North Korea.
A newer article about Trump’s lie states:
“It is not clear whether the president was simply unaware of the actions of his own senior staff or if he knowingly ignored the truth. The source of that sentence was a White House official who held a briefing on Thursday afternoon in the White House briefing room that was attended by about 50 reporters, with about 200 or so more on a conference call.
Reporters often request such briefings to be on the record, which would allow the official to be named. But, in this case, the rules of the briefing imposed by the White House required that the official be referred to only as a “senior White House official.” The Times is continuing to abide by that agreement.”
This is really pathetic. Dozens of people were there. This is just an easily disproven lie. It’s just part of his efforts to discredit the news media. I despise Trump for many reasons but lies and bigotry are the top two.
Sad!
