Trump just gave Putin the best birthday gift he’ll get this year.
Trump just gave Putin the best birthday gift he’ll get this year. By giving the Russian economy life support Trump’s deal with the devil keeps getting dirtier. There’s nothing America First about Trump caving in to Putin and exempting Russia from US sanctions. Americans need relief from skyrocketing prices. Instead, Trump is aiding and abetting a dictator who has helped Iran target US troops in the Middle East.
