BBC: Russia election: Trump congratulates Putin over victory

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

That is not the point, the point is that Trump personally called him. It looks like none of the European countries actually called him, and Trump's people told him not to say congratulations. What kind of person goes against the advice of the people that he hires??

Trump is president. As all presidents do, they listen to their aides and then make the final decision because it is THEM who is president, not the aides. I do realize though that you don't know how the presidency works.

If everyone, and yes it was everyone, tells you not to do something, maybe you shouldn't act like a baby and do it anyway.
You are acting like you want a dictator.

Russia election: Trump congratulates Putin over victory - BBC News



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."

Putin won by a landslide. Give him his props. He is 110% for Russia in his own way. He wants Russia to be a world leader and he is getting the job done. He made fools of the DNC and their pathetic security and handling of classified information. Trump gave him his PC congrats instead of crying like the left. Every country along with private enterprises are trying to hack into anything they can. Time to grow up and take security seriously. If we leave ourselves vulnerable to being hacked someone will do it. Prevention is our only recourse not crying about it.

A good start would be keeping Hillary away from sensitive information.:lol:

The Express is just as outraged as you are (grin), but they are miffed that Macron called Putin and congratulated him ...

"FRENCH President Emmanuel Macron spoke to Vladimir Putin by telephone on Monday to congratulate the Russian leader over his landslide victory in the presidential election, the Elysée Palace said in a statement. ...

The president makes his own decisions. Advisers are just advisers.

Advisers have known more about every subject more than Trump. He wants to be played, or he doesn't know he's being played. There is no good alternative here. You can no longer be this naive.

They don't even know it. They just know "liburals," don't like Trump, so we must stick up for him. Welcome to cult45.

He made a bigger fool of your President when he lied right to his face and Trump told the world he believed him. Trump should be calling Putin down, but he's not. He's placating him because he is simply to ignorant to form an intelligent policy to deal with him. Putin has Trump by his nuts. His people getting away with murder, literally, and Trump is silent.

I had no doubt you Trumplings would find a way to not only defend the indefensible but also invoke Clinton. You do realize she is not the President, nor will she ever be...right?

Leaders from all over the world called Putin to congratulate him.

And you're good with this? Really?

Wait...of course you are. Because you're a Trumpling.

Nothing moderate about you.

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.

His supporters would let Putin teabag them if they thought Trump was good with it.

Loved how half that article was about the Chinese who now essentially have their own dictator. Oh yea and Russian. :lamo

And the article says only two leaders called him - Modi and Macrone

The rest put out press releases or sent telegrams

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.

First of all...enough with the whataboutism.

Second...does that make it right? No it doesn't. However...

Third...had Putin just been exposed for authorizing interference in U.S. elections, authorizing hacking our infrastructure, or been accused of approving the use of a never agent against someone in an allied country? He hadn't even annexed the Crimea yet.

Nice try, but not even close.

They seem be supporting a country and leader that has made No secret they are against America's interests in the world...Only a few years back they would be considered traitors....

The Russians hacked our infrastructure? That hasn't happened. The Chinese did and you didn't run around with your hair on fire then (probably because Obama was president).
