Because he thought it would be an easy win for his corrupt wife.

Our country is just fine, thanks. Don't believe the media hysteria so easily. Our leaders always have to have a boogeyman. Hell, it's like the glue that holds our society together. 15 years ago it was Iraq, the Taliban, and Bin Laden. Now it just happens to be Russian and Putin. Same old story, different country and dictator, we're used to it by now. It's all a bunch of hype, scapegoating, and fear mongering.

I understand the premise, but honestly Trump's demeanor is concerning. I don't believe that Russia has totally infiltrated the government of the US and has Trump compromised (though I still wouldn't be totally surprised if Putin did have something on Trump), but why is she shitting on his allies in the process? I understand wanting to normalize relations with Russia, and I think the hysteria surrounding Trump's comments at the summit are probably overblown (I've yet to watch it, though from what I heard he blamed both sides for the issues in their relationship?), but why did he have to shit on the EU and Merkel? We all know what the new pipeline is gonna do in giving Russia economic influence over Germany, but why mention it in the first place? I think the whole issue is a total clusterfuck at this point, and honestly I have no clue who to believe any longer. Pretty sad state of affairs these days... sigh*.

The faux outrage and the MSM going insane after the summit is great to see.

from alpha dog to lap dog.

The outrage is justified. The guy literally threw his own country under the bus.

This is what happens when you put a KGB agent up against a KFC agent.

Not really. Faux outrage at best. We'll see what MSM cooks up next. They move on to one hysteria to the next on a weekly basis. 

Do you really not see the difference between what Obama was referring to and what ended up happening in the election of 2016? Obama wasn't afraid of Russia as a military power being a threat to us or even the EU and that still holds true, but meddling with our elections is not something anyone really saw coming. Geez you'll bend over backwards for any dumb stuff the right wing propaganda tells you.

Nothing is going to happen. Trump flips flops on matters almost all the time. He wants to believe Putin and get along with Russia in anyway possible it seems. People are painting Putin as everything he says as 100% false though.
