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."
 

Except it didn't go down like that.
 

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.

Credible link?
 

It's different, now that they hate the president.
 

Yes John McCain...What has that guy ever done for America?...trump is the real war hero....McCain got captured, trump fought hard in the great spitball war of 65' in the private school cafeteria...Screw McCain
 

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?
 

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

I'm just guessing here but maybe it's ya know the people he hired, continuously fires, and then hires others to do so???
 

Many world leaders called Putin to congratulate him.

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.
 

see post #16
 

I hate to say it but the people of Russia do like him. It is a sad but true fact.

I guess you missed the rest of the article, like where Macron, Merkel etc. congratulated him. :lol:
 

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.
