Biden: Trump’s ‘Subservience’ to Putin Is ‘Humiliating’ to the US
“Never before has an American president played such a subservient role to a Russian leader,” the Democratic candidate said.
Congress has imposed the tough sanction measures on the Putin regime, not Donald Trump. One of the first things Trump looked into as President was removing the Russian sanctions.
The US military is also growing tired of Trumps subservience to Putin. In a new Military Times poll, 41.3% of US soldiers said they will vote for Joe Biden with 37.4% voting for Trump and that percentage dropping.
Trump has said nothing of the attempted Kremlin assassination of opposition leader Alexei Navalny last week in Siberia, nor of the fraudulent August 9 election in Belarus.
Give Putin an inch, and he will take a mile....

President Donald Trump is “subservient” to Russian president Vladimir Putin, Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden alleged on Monday, calling Trump’s unusual relationship with the Russian leader “humiliating and embarrassing” for the United States. “Never before has an American president played such a subservient role to a Russian leader,” Biden said during a major campaign speech in Pennsylvania. “It’s not only dangerous, it’s humiliating and embarrassing for the rest of the world to see. It weakens us.” “Not even American troops can feel safer under Trump,” he said. Biden criticized Trump for failing to raise the issue of reported Russian bounties on U.S. troops in Afghanistan during multiple phone calls with Putin. Trump has said publicly that he has not addressed it with Putin. Biden also rebuked Trump for failing to publicly address an altercation between U.S. and Russian troops in Syria last week. A Russian vehicle struck a U.S. convoy vehicle near Dayrick, leaving U.S. troops with concussion-like injuries. "It's been reported that Russian forces just attacked American troops in Syria, injuring our service members. Did you hear the president say a single word? Did he lift one finger?" Biden said. Videos of the encounter appear to show the Russian vehicle ramming the U.S. vehicle.
Trump’s consistent defense of Putin has raised eyebrows in Washington, with critics accusing him of cozying up to the autocratic leader. In one particularly shocking incident, Trump publicly sided with Putin over U.S. intelligence agencies, saying that he believed the Russian president when he said that Russia had not interfered in the 2016 election. “President Putin says it’s not Russia. I don’t see any reason why it would be,” Trump said on stage at the 2018 Helsinki summit between the two leaders. A recent report from the GOP-led Senate Intelligence Committee found that the Trump campaign had numerous interactions with Russian intelligence services during the 2016 presidential election that posed a “grave” counterintelligence threat.
