WASHINGTON — In his nearly three years as president or a presidential candidate, Donald Trump has never been shy about openly criticizing others, including foreign leaders. He ripped into London’s mayor. He fired back at British Prime Minister Theresa May (initially tweeting at the wrong Theresa May). And he’s hurled insults at North Korea’s Kim Jong-Un.

Which all makes Trump’s reluctance to forcefully criticize Vladimir Putin — after the election interference in 2016, after the poisoning in Britain and after the voting irregularities in Russia — all the more striking. Even when the president is instructed NOT to congratulate Putin.

What's Putin got on Trump? That he does is obvious from Trump's continuing to play softball with the Russian dictator. There has to be an investigation. Is he being blackmailed? That seems to be obvious. He is a walking threat to our national security.

I don't know. But it is becoming more and more obvious that it is something. There's only two people that Trump won't trash talk. Stormy Daniels and Putin. And both of them allegedly have dirt on him. It's a big coincidence.
 
Yup ... and soon Trump and Putin gonna meet personally to strengthen their unique "friendship" ...

and the left is gonna have a mega, mega, major meltdown - the likes never seen before

Trump is just afraid of Putin as he should be, to be "chiding" him.

Where have been for over a year? There is an ongoing investigation into that very question being conducted by a guy named Mueller.

Donald Trump and Russia: the great enigma of our political moment

Donald Trump’s attitude toward Russia is the great enigma of our political moment.

Why does the president stubbornly refuse to acknowledge Russia’s meddling in the 2016 election and hold it accountable for its actions? Why does he never say a negative word about Vladimir Putin? Why does he keep trying to end the Russia investigation? After special counsel Robert Mueller indicted 13 Russian nationals for election interference on Friday, why did he spend the weekend attacking Barack Obama, Adam Schiff, the FBI, his national security adviser, and Hillary Clinton — and never once mentioned Moscow or Putin?
===============================================================================
It is so obvious that Putin has DJT under his thumb. He never has a bad thing to say about our main adversary. Trump is letting down our national security for his own personal reasons. Blackmail? Probably.
 
How Trump walked into Putin’s web

https://www.theguardian.com/news/2017/nov/15/how-trump-walked-into-putins-web-luke

The inside story of how a former British spy was hired to investigate Russia’s influence on Trump – and uncovered explosive evidence that Moscow had been cultivating Trump for years. By Luke Harding
======================================================
Disregard the Steele Dossier at your own peril. The Russians have turned DJT into their Manchurian Candidate & as a result have destabilized the U.S. Putin is laughing his a** off.
