An Updated List of 37 Times Trump was Soft on Russia

CNN has made an admirable effort to continue to update the list of 37 - YES 37 - times Trump has obeyed his boss Putin.

Over the years, Trump's made no secret that he has a soft spot for the country and its authoritarian leader, Vladimir Putin. Trump has proved that he is willing to reject widely held US foreign policy views and align himself with the Kremlin on everything from Russian interference in US elections to the war in Syria.

During the 2016 campaign, Trump's ties to Russians were so concerning that the FBI believed there was good reason to investigate potential collusion between his 2016 campaign and the Kremlin. Counterintelligence investigators also examined whether Trump himself was somehow a Russian asset.

Go on.....

Most recently, Trump has denied the veracity of US intelligence reports accusing Russia of paying bounties to Taliban fighters to kill US troops in Afghanistan.  Trump said he did not raise the issue during a recent phone call with Putin, and continued to suggest that the reports are "fake news."

Here's a succinct breakdown of 37 occasions when Trump was soft on Russia or gave Putin a boost.  There are far too many to include in our post.  Please see the full list here: https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/17/politics/trump-soft-on-russia/index.html
