Trump Congratulated Putin?

[@ Becky, you know if Putin does that and Hillary had been elected she would have done nothing about it.

@beckyromero Well I am. I'm light years away from the streaming pile of doo doo slide.

You should just get away from that high class toilet and forget about this politicus vomitus.

Come to Wisconsin. Enjoy the dairy air.

Lol

Hillary would not have made these comments (which Trump did, in an interview with the [i]New York Times[/i] in July 2016):

[quote]The Times asked Trump: “If Russia came over the border into Estonia or Latvia, Lithuania, places that Americans don’t think about all that often, would you come to their immediate military aid?” The full exchange is worth reading:

TRUMP: I don’t want to tell you what I’d do because I don’t want Putin to know what I’d do. I have a serious chance of becoming president and I’m not like Obama, that every time they send some troops into Iraq or anyplace else, he has a news conference to announce it.

SANGER: They are NATO members, and we are treaty-obligated ——

TRUMP: We have many NATO members that aren’t paying their bills.

SANGER: That’s true, but we are treaty-obligated under NATO, forget the bills part.

TRUMP: You can’t forget the bills. They have an obligation to make payments. Many NATO nations are not making payments, are not making what they’re supposed to make. That’s a big thing. You can’t say forget that.

SANGER: My point here is, Can the members of NATO, including the new members in the Baltics, count on the United States to come to their military aid if they were attacked by Russia? And count on us fulfilling our obligations ——

TRUMP: Have they fulfilled their obligations to us? If they fulfill their obligations to us, the answer is yes.

HABERMAN: And if not?

TRUMP: Well, I’m not saying if not. I’m saying, right now there are many countries that have not fulfilled their obligations to us.

SANGER: You’ve seen several of those countries come under cyberattack, things that are short of war, clearly appear to be coming from Russia.

TRUMP: Well, we’re under cyberattack.

SANGER: We’re under regular cyberattack. Would you use cyberweapons before you used military force?

TRUMP: Cyber is absolutely a thing of the future and the present. Look, we’re under cyberattack, forget about them. And we don’t even know where it’s coming from.[/quote]

Very dangerous talk.

@SW-User [quote]If you're going to complain about Obama then do ot right![/quote]

As I said, not complaining about Obama for the handshakes. (There are plenty of things I [b]can[/b] complain about him, but not this.)

It's the hypocrisy I'm talking about from my party and the talking heads in the media.

(I also haven't heard or seen anything to indicate that Obama criticized Trump for calling Putin.)

@beckyromero fair i guess, but thr party isnt complaining. The people are
