Russia election: Trump congratulates Putin over victory - BBC News

BBC: Russia election: Trump congratulates Putin over victory

US President Donald Trump has spoken to his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin to congratulate him on his electoral victory two days ago.

He said they they would meet in the "not too distant future" to discuss the arms race, Ukraine and Syria.

Mr Putin was re-elected by a landslide, with more than 76% of the vote, for a fourth six-year term.

But there was no strong challenger with the main opposition leader, Alexei Navalny, barred from the race.

Seriously. He congratulates the most powerful organized crime boss in the world over his "landslide" election victory. After learning that Putin's government was directly involved with election meddling and hacking into our infrastructure network in order to gain a military advantage over us.

Please, tell me how this is just "the art of the deal."

Obama had done the same thing what's your beef

@markknoller
Pres. Obama phoning congratulations from AF-1 to Pres-elect Vladimir Putin of Russia.
12:26 PM - Mar 9, 2012

McCain is a perfect example of what hate filled bitterness produces,.. I wish he would have gracefully faded into the next life.
Apparently he will spend his last days spewing hatred for Trump.

@SenJohnMcCain
An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections. And by doing so
with Vladimir Putin, President Trump insulted every Russian citizen who was denied the right to vote in a free and fair election.

And his advisers told him not to do it, specifically. So all these people telling him not to fire Mueller. I don't give Mueller the end of the week. Maybe Friday or Saturday night massacre. Sessions/Mueller both. This is like telling a three year old, many times, not to do it, and then he does it anyway. I just hope nobody tells him not to bomb NOKO.

Bad advisers to tell a president not to congratulate another president. Who were those guys?

Considering the fact that Putin murders his opposition and rigs the elections, Trump's congratulations just made him look stupid at best, malevolent at worst.

I can't find any reports about that. Trump seems to be showing favoritism w/Putin over all our other allies, even over our own intelligence agencies. Where Trump doesn't challenge Putin's election, or ask him about meddling in our elections, or ask him about our poisoned British friends, and apparent excitement to meet with him when all of that was against what Trump should have been doing according to multiple advisers full of staff who has researched the ins and outs of what would happen if he did do this. That it is plain as day Trump is a Russian Stooge.

Apparently you haven't even looked. Hell, Netanyahu, as well as several others, did.

I'm not surprised the heft's favorite non democrat for years McCain get's a well done from you:

McCain dishonored himself in the Keating 5 scandal. We don't know what happened on the USS Forrestal when 137 Americans were killed.
And now, if looks like one of his last acts as a Senator is to dishonor himself by getting involved in the traitorous attempt to take down
a duly elected president using the fake dossier put together using RUSSIAN sources, paid for by Hillary, and delivered to the FBI by McCain,
who then used it to obtain fraudulent warrants.

McCain has never been accused of having more than a room temperature IQ. He's been a dope his whole life. Only got into
Annapolis since his daddy and granddaddy were Admirals. Graduated at the rock bottom from Annapolis.

Term limits...and mental health standards. Congress needs both, and Johnny Mac is the poster child why.
 
I wonder what Putin has on Trump.
