in 1987 Donald Trump returned from Moscow, took out full page ads in three major papers against NATO, and formed an exploratory committee for president.
I think about that a lot
Donald Trump is a Russian Asshat
@dannotdaniel What in the world?
His record in office debunk conspiracy theories like that.
@tshirtman from blocked pipelines to strengthening relationships with other countries to take them farther from the Russian sphere of influence, this story that Trump sucked up to Putin the whole time is just a myth.
If you want to put it a different way, Trump's too damn stupid to even know how to have a consistent policy that would benefit Russia anyway.
But he certainly did not spend the whole presidency sucking up to Putin like so many claimed.
@volkris @dannotdaniel which country got further from Russia? China? North Korea? Iran? He might have though he had some kind of friendship with Xi, and Ki (but certainly not with Khamenei), these are absolutely helping Russia against Ukraine (the main reason China is shy about it, is that it doesn’t want to lose business with the west, others don’t have that problem). So, which country? Or do you really believe it was the case for these.
Trump is not smart, yes, but Putin can easily lead him.
