Is anyone fed up with Trump constantly defending Russia? He has bashed and insulted (almost) EVERY OTHER COUNTRY. But not Russia.
Trump has managed to insult: Mexico (“They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists,...”), Canada (Trudeau is “easily Canada’s worst president yet.”), Germany (“Germany is a total mess - big crime. Get smart!”), China (“We can't continue to allow China to rape our country, and that's what they're doing,...“), Philippines (“We are dealing with animals,” *), Greece (“At $24 trillion, that’s the point of no return. We will be there soon. That’s when we become Greece! That’s when we become a country that’s unsalvageable.”), India (Trump 'put on a bad Indian accent to impersonate a call centre employee'.), Iran (“Iran continues to delay the nuclear deal while doing many bad things behind our backs. Time to walk and double the sanctions. Stop payments!”), Saudi Arabia (Trump derided 'the Saudi Prime Alwaleed bin Talal, calling him “dopey” and claiming he “wants to control our US. politicians with daddy’s money.”), UK (“be honest”, saying the United Kingdom was "trying hard to disguise their massive Muslim problem".), France (Trump has 'refused to rule out banning individuals from France, saying it was one of several countries “that have totally been“ compromised by terrorism'.), Australia (Trump HUNG UP on the Prime Minister. McCain had to call to try to fix it).
==> -But NOT RUSSIA, where he is already reducing sanctions (HE'S IN THEIR POCKET, and you are all chumps. He's CLUELESS and has no place trying to run a government. His effort at the Muslim ban screamed INCOMPETENCE.
edit: What do YOU think Putin is holding over Trump to get him to do this?
