Our relationship with Russia is at an all-time & very dangerous low. You can thank Congress, the same people that can't even give us HCare!

Why is Trump so protective of Putin? Remember this: WikiLeaks dropped the Podesta hack w/in ONE HOUR of release of Access Hollywood tape

At darkest moment of Trump campaign - when Ryan, Priebus etc - were hiding for cover, Putin stepped in to save Trump

And so today, Trump - who always “punches back”- responds to criticism from Russia’s Medvedev by hitting back … at Congress.

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 03/08/2017 14:14

In light of the "October 8th coalition", Putin would probably top the ranks.

Remember the chaotic Trump calls with Australia and Mexico? We have the transcripts.

Not hacking the elections, intefering with democracy and Ukraine?

and not a word about the 755 US diplomatic staff in Russia expelled.

He's so stupid he can't even pretend he isn't pro-Russia. But instead blames Congress who voted 419-3 for sanctions. He really didn't want to sign that bill did he...

cozietoesie · 03/08/2017 15:18

Those transcripts!

cozietoesie · 03/08/2017 15:22

No. He really didn't want to sign it.

Oh to have been a fly on the wall...........

BossyBitch · 03/08/2017 15:34

US-Russia relations might not be brilliant, but at an all-time low?

I know I was very little then, so this might be my childish imagination misremembered as fact but if I'm not completely mistaken there used to be this thing between them ... lukewarm conflict or something it was called.

TBH, I just read his tweet as 'Waaaaaaaah! Muuuuuuummy! Those mean kids said I couldn't throw sand at the other children on the playground! But I wanna throw saaaaaaaand!!!'. He's obviously throwing a tantrum that any toddler would be proud of.

cozietoesie · 03/08/2017 15:45

They're not great - but remember, this is his perception. And he needs to outdo You Know Who on everything. Wink

OhYouBadBadKitten · 03/08/2017 15:51

How is it an all time low? and how on earth can he blame almost every single member of congress? The mind boggles.

cozietoesie · 03/08/2017 15:54

Ah - but he doesn't like Congress.

AcrossthePond55 · 03/08/2017 16:05

All time low? Personally I'd say the 'all time low' was the Cuban Missile Crisis.

I just hope things keep unraveling the way they seem to be.

Medvedev is right.
It shows how weak the Trump presidency is. In relation to Congress and to Russia.
And he chooses the petulant child role in relation to Russia, after trying to assume the parent role.
Transactional analysis of Trump speeches and tweets should be very interesting.

Lweji · 03/08/2017 16:53

Even worse. He's the whining child that complains that little Johnny got a bigger chocolate cake slice and more ice-cream.

dd reckons Trump is getting prank calls to boost his ego. We have visions of a GOP staffer sat in an office wondering who they should impersonate next....

"We have the president's Twitter feed."

Lweji · 03/08/2017 17:37

Twitter won him the election, FGS! It works miracles.

The Noah was right. It's like a holy book. An ark of the covenant.
Which is why China limits the internet and social networks.

The funny thing is that Nieto could be lying, but nobody will believe Trump now.

badbadhusky · 03/08/2017 17:40

Well, it helps to explain why they are dismantling the State Dept if they don't understand diplomacy as a concept.

I think SNL is coming back. Or is it just the news updates?
Still...
