Trump’s national security advisers warned him not to congratulate Putin. He did it anyway.

Quite likely Mr. Putin is delighted to see well informed and literate commentators who think that $19.739T is two times as great as 18.57T.



Possibly it does, possibly it doesn't. In any event Mr. Putin doesn't really appear to care.



Do you know what the word "rhetoric" actually means?

PS - Every single country that ranks higher than the US on the "Best Country To Live In" and/or the "Least Corrupt Government" and/or the "Happiest Country" list(s) is, by American definition, a "Socialist" country.

Unlike his Predecessor Trump is getting results that you can only wish Obama had generated but you focus on what he says and not what he does. He has been called a puppet so please tell me how Russia benefits from the strong growing US economy and more US Military spending? Your hatred has blinded you to reality.

Interesting how all those countries that people prefer to live in aren't generating the immigrants that his one is and since you don't live in this country you always buy rhetoric vs. results. Corruption is a term promoted by the left as they ignored the true corruption of the Obama Administration.

I will take the economy of this country along with the opportunities presented vs. anything any other country in the world has.

Aw yes, the words of from the socialist state of California with the worst quality of life in the country, among the highest cost of living, more people below the poverty level and homeless and spending more than double the nearest state in population on social spending. What I see from you is total ignorance of data and facts still preferring rhetoric promoting hatred. Here is something you better pay attention to

I got the date wrong Tres it was 10/2012. Romney had commented on a CNN interview that Russia was our number one political foe in an op-ed he had wrote. I'll see if I can find it online but I do know his comments came up later in a debate with Obama.

It did come up in the debate...Romney used it to argue for a large increase in defense spending, against Russia.....President Obama argued the main adversary was Islamic fundamentalists....In hindsight both had valid points and overstated their positions...But that was 5 years ago , things have changed...Russia is clearly NO friend of American foreign interests....A "call" congratulating Putin was idiotic....trump is the man in charge now...Not President Obama

Your liberal compassion is truly showing.
 
This story leaks, liberal reaction: "Trumps a lunatic who refuses to listen to advisers."

this story leaks, except Trump follows the advice and doesn't congratulate Putin. Liberal reaction "Trumps an idiot puppet who just does as he's told."
 
Conservative said:
False rhetoric? We didn't have 313,000 jobs created in February? We didn't have the tax cuts go into effect? All this hatred against Trump! So Trump hasn't doubled the GDP he was left by Obama? Results never matter to the left so you divert to more hate rhetoric. Guess Trump should have ignored the election in Russia like I am sure Obama would have however Trump's actions speak louder than just words by Obama. Growing our economy and increasing Military spending benefits Russia how?

Trump didn't do ANYTHING to double the GDP it was already heading that way DUH. When you realize that a president isn't GOD and doesn't shake the heaven and Earth of economics, let us know. Your false idol worshiping of Trump will wind you up in hell with your sky fairy god.

No Trump's words of insulting allies, our own politicians and lying speaks louder. Maybe you salute to Russia each morning like the good little anti-American you are, but the rest of us don't.

Yeah, 1.5% fourth qtr 2016 and 1.2% first qtr of 2017 is going up in your world? No wonder you have zero credibility

Results matter except to people like you who are so filled with hatred that you totally ignore results. Don't give a **** about insulting allies that you believe are important to us because putting America first again will pay dividends and be a country those allies want to be our allies. Your cold war mentality is obvious but as usual you ignore answering the question, how is a growing US economy and 14% growth in US military spending benefiting Russia?? Logic and common sense again destroyed by your hatred.

Russia benefits because the US has stopped being an ally to many of their enemies. Trump supporters are too stupid to see the Russian Plant Trump right in front of them. Russia is thinking the long game to destroy America and you are concerned with instant gratification from a measly tax cut that only really benefits the wealthy. Although since you've bragged how wealthy you are, of course you like the instant gratification along with the long term destruction of America. You should be ashamed, but you're too busy with your head in the sand or elsewhere. You are what's wrong with America but thankfully people have woke up and we will kick out the GOP in 2018 and then Trump in 2020. Deal with that.

If you look at the "results" that Mr. Trump is getting, what you will see is the same progression that was underway when Mr. Obama was the President of the United States of America.

That's because he says a whole lot more than he does.

In the same way that it benefited from a strong and growing US economy and more military spending under Mr. Obama.

When the GDP goes from 18(and a bit) trillion to 19 (and a bit) Trillion, does that mean that it doubled?

You should remember that Mr. Trump is NOT "America" and "Mr. Trump does not have 'allies', Mr. Trump has 'interests'." (to paraphrase).

IF Mr. Trump could "push a magic button" and immediately cure world hunger, bring about world peace, cure cancer, and ensure that everyone in the world had clean water as well as decent housing BUT, pushing that button would also mean that no one would know that he had done it and that Mr. Trump would lose 100% of his money and have to live on $50,000 a year for the rest of his life, THEN (pick one answer only)

  1. "Mr. Trump WOULD push the button."
  2. "Mr. Trump WOULD NOT push the button."

We do not have anything close to the best people running Washington generally and the WH spacifically, and Trump is a nonstop BS'er.

...and nearly 60% think he is UNFIT to be President. Last time I checked, 60% beats 40% by a very large margin (a bigger margin than any presidential election in this generation).

If the 40% get the idea that the 60% are unjustly working to overturn an election the place burns down, regardless of your math.

When President Trump entered office GDP growth was 1.2% which was about the overall average for Obama.

He quickly repealed all of Obama's economy killing executive orders and GDP growth has hardly been below 3% since (one quarter at 2.5%).

Sounds more like a con job about Steel...President Obama inherited a crashed economy (W Bush and his goons)...Remember?...It was in all the papers....The economy rose steadily in his 8 years...Which trump and his goons denied.....Now the economy moves forward...Good indeed for corporations and share holders....Not so good for workers with lower wages, fewer benefits...Still they are lucky to have jobs I guess...Isn't that how it works?
