Five times Donald Trump looked to side with Russia against the US
Former president’s statements about Russia and Putin often clash with those of US officials
The Helsinki summit
“President Putin says it’s not Russia. I don’t see any reason why it would be,” he told reporters at the time.
He added that he hoped the US and Russia would develop an “extraordinary relationship” under his presidency.
The first 2016 debate: Who’s to blame for DNC hack?
Donald Trump’s attempts to cast blame away from Russia for the 2016 hack of the Democratic National Committee also took centre stage for his first debate with Hillary Clinton that year, when he famously declared that his favoured geopolitical adversary China or even "somebody sitting on their bed that weighs 400 pounds” could have been the true culprits responsible for the theft and publication of emails and other data from the party.
Nato consternations
In 2020, he ordered the pullback of more than 10,000 US troops from Germany, citing a long list of supposed grievances.
The G7 and Trump’s diplomatic fumbles
In 2020 the US president said it was “common sense” to readmit Russia to the G7 – making it the G8 again – something the other members rejected.
Trump flatters Russia’s government days before inauguration
After the Obama administration took one of its last acts in office to slap sanctions on Russia for its election interference months earlier, the new president-elect took to his now-defunct Twitter to praise Mr Putin directly for not retaliating against the US, signaLling that his administration would take a very different stance towards the country.
“Great move on delay (by V. Putin) — I always knew he was very smart!” Mr Trump tweeted at the time.
Malcolm Nance Claims Trump Owns ‘Bloody’ Invasion After He ‘Extorted’ Ukraine for Missiles
MSNBC contributor Malcolm Nance said Ukrainian blood could soon be on the hands of former President Donald Trump, citing Trump’s alleged extortion of the country in 2019 during the infamous “perfect” phone call.
Nance argued that Trump extorted Ukraine in 2019, thus denying the country crucial Javelin missiles.
The issue with Nance’s claim: Ukraine got the missiles in question – and more.
Nance joined The Beat on Tuesday evening, where he told host Ari Melber Trump could soon be responsible for bloodshed.
Melber aired a clip of Trump calling Putin “savvy” on The Buck Sexton Show, and asked Nance for his thoughts.
“Dictators are going to talk like dictators, right?” Nance said. “Game knows game, And Donald Trump, in this particular circumstance, look, he’s an autocrat.
“I said that when he became president. Putin’s strategy is to create an axis of autocrats, and Trump was the American wing.”
Nance further accused Trump of being “anti-democratic,” before predicting a potentially bloody conflict, which he said the former president will own:
Look, this is going to get bloody. Donald Trump is going to be responsible for a lot of it. I mean, he extorted this country with the anti-tank missiles they need now to defend themselves. All I know is, we haven’t given Ukraine enough missiles here to really stop what’s coming. But if we do, well, maybe this whole thing can be reversed a bit.

Maybe true for some, but most Americans are ready to move on, hopefully up. It’s seems to be the media that hangs on Trumps every word.
