Trump doesn’t bother to hide his submissiveness to Putin anymore

President Trump did not follow specific warnings from his national security advisers Tuesday when he congratulated Russian President Vladi­mir Putin on his reelection — including a section in his briefing materials in all-capital letters stating “DO NOT CONGRATULATE,” according to officials familiar with the call.

Trump also chose not to heed talking points from aides instructing him to condemn the recent poisoning of a former Russian spy in Britain with a powerful nerve agent, a case that both the British and U.S. governments have blamed on Moscow.

Even if Trump didn’t read the briefing (always a strong possibility), one is struck by Trump’s reflexive deference to the Russian autocrat. At a time he lashes out at everyone from special counsel Robert S. Mueller III to our trading partners to the FBI, he nevertheless bends over backward to avoid confronting the Russian tyrant. Instead of standing up for the United States, Trump rolls over for Russia.

This behavior “sends a message to the American people that President Trump doesn’t care about Russian interference in our election, that President Trump doesn’t care about fair elections, and that what President Trump does care about is pleasing Putin,” says former FBI special agent Clinton Watts. “Also congratulating Putin’s electoral win, and then not challenging Putin on the nerve agent attack in the UK is the equivalent of telling Putin he can do whatever he wants.”

Vladi clearly has something compromising on Donnie. It's the only plausible explanation as to why Donnie embraces him.

Nonsense. Schiller said he turned down the offer of three free hookers! He's a stand up guy!

The WH was forced to include Trump's election greeting in handout after the Kremlin beat them to it. 

 

Lordy, I hope there are tapes. I can use my new magnifying glass .
