Is Trump doing exactly what Putin wants him to do?

    Not the point, you didn't like Trump pulling out of the T.P.P. Me and a lot of other Americans did. It was NAFTA on steroids.

    Tariffs do just what you say Sandy, but hopefully it will be a short hurt. Those tariffs, along with rising wages and taxes are driving hundreds of manufacturing from China. They can ill afford to have that continue. Trump feels it will hurt China much more than America and that the trade war won't last that long. He could be right, or they may try and wait it out and hope Trump gets defeated and they Democrats will give into them. Something I don't want to see happen.

    NAFTA on steroids? Before NAFTA, we had a big trade surplus with Mexico, now it's reversed. Mexico has siffend off many of our good paying manufacturing jobs. I only see T.P.P. doing the same thing. Hell we only have a hand full of nations we have a trade surplus with.

    Tell me Sandy, with a few trillion people in this world, what do we manufacture here for the average consumer in most any country you can name?

    Trump sees it as a short term hurt for a long term gain. Liberals don't see farther than tomorrow.

    Trump is now refusing to send those missiles to Ukraine
    As noted...just weeks prior to this Trump removed sanctions on Russian oligarch OVD...who has been implicated in the election interference of 2016

    Allowing Russia to continue to violate that agreement without consequences
    Our troops defended themselves against a Russian attack. Trump had nothing to do with that and Trump said NOTHING about Russians attacking our forces in Syria DELIBERATELY

    No, I didn't hear that. Also, while I provided my source, I noticed you did not provide a source for your revelation.

    BTW, the Trump friendly CIA director, Ms. Haspel, will not say anything to anger the President. It is why Trump picked her.

    Putin Wants Poland To Have F-35's, you know.

    MAKE ARMS SALES GREAT AGAIN: Poland Gets All-Clear to Buy US F-35 Joint Strike Fighters.

    That is true. "The State Department announced Wednesday that Poland was approved to receive 32 Lockheed Martin-made F-35A Lightning II aircraft with support and associated equipment, for an estimated cost of $6.5 billion."

    Trump wants Lockheed Martin to make the big bucks plus create manufacturing jobs. I seriously doubt Putin has any intention of attacking Poland. Those days disappeared 70 years ago.

    So, of course, someone will bring the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Ukraine was a part of Russia since 1795. The situation is completely different.

    What sources would you accept? Given CNN were the ones who messed up the original report in the first place you could hardly give them credibility.

    The other sources I saw were FoxNews and I suppose you don't accept them either.

    Besides, why do ********* about conservatives? I thought you I the past have described yourself as conservative?

    No, this actually did happen.

    Why is it that Trump has private one on one meeting with Putin, in which no English speaking person is present to take account of what the meeting was about?

    What exactly is Trump trying to hide?

    It does not appear that DJT is doing exactly what Vlad wants him to do, but it does appear that he is doing pretty much everything Bibi wants him to do.
