My question is do people that support Trump believe that right after basically calling your allies as foes was it a smart political move to state publicly that you believe Putin, over your own intelligence agencies. The fact that there are more republicans pushing back against his statements is never a good sign. You can believe that if the Dems ran the house and senate that Trump would already be on the block. It seems with each passing day, Trump seems to rub another republican the wrong way reducing his chance to get policy done.

Looking at this in a more strategic way, do you believe that its just poor choice of words from Trump or a genuine bad political move or nothing to see here.

From my own point of view, it will be interesting to see if this gains any traction. It does appear to give Trump a look of weakness when faced with Putin compared to the combative way he has been over the EU, Canada, Mexico etc.
