tRump started his presidency "soft on Russia". He is ending it the same way.
With all of the bizzaro stuff that has occured during the tRump dysfunctional presidency, the one constant has been his "soft on Russia" stance. From his disputing our own intelligence community regarding 2016 Russian election interference, to him disputing SecState Pompeo over the recent massive Russian cyber-attack, tRump once again shows his "softness" as he tries to re-direct the blame away from Russia and place blame on others.
At this point, we simply don't know why tRump continues to turn a "blind eye" to Russia, but he does. Whether Putin has damaging personal info on tRump, whether tRump was involved in Russian money laundering or whether he simply owes large sums of money to Russian oligarchs, something is behind this other than tRump's fascination and admiration for Putin. Hopefully, as this embarrassment of a presidency ends, we will find out what leverage Putin has on CorruptRump.
