Beyond the absurdity of your point, there is one key difference Trump is president, he constantly promotes Russian interest and constantly disparages our allies. He never misses an opportunity to talk up Putin and NEVER speaks negatively about him.
And yet we have Obama on Hot Mic saying if he gets elected he would be in a better position to make deals with Russia.
So the only difference between Obama and Trump is that Trump voices it on MIC. Obama does it when he wasn’t on Mic.
Well, no. That’s ■■■■■■■ ludicrous. Trump outright loves Putin. Nuzzles his undercarriage. Talks about how great a guy he is. How he’s really a friend. How he wasn’t really KGB, even though he ■■■■■■■ well was. It’s embarrassing.

In an interview with ABC’s “This Week,” Trump defends against allegations Putin has ordered the killings of journalists and dissidents.
“As far as the reporters are concerned — as far as the reporters are concerned, obviously I don’t want that to happen. I think it’s terrible — horrible. But, in all fairness to Putin, you’re saying he killed people. I haven’t’ seen that. I don’t know that he has. Have you been able to prove that? Do you know the names of the reporters that he’s killed? Because I’ve been — you know, you’ve been hearing this, but I haven’t seen the name. Now, I think it would be despicable if that took place, but I haven’t’ seen any evidence that he killed anybody in terms of reporters.”
To deny that Trumps foreign policy is to create a wedge between us and the Western powers only to get us closer to Moscow is like denying gravity at this point.

Trump tells ABC’s George Stephanopoulos that if he were to be elected president, Putin is “not going into Ukraine.”
“He’s not going into Ukraine, OK, just so you understand,” Trump said. “He’s not going to go into Ukraine, all right? You can mark it down. You can put it down. You can take it anywhere you want.”
Asked about Putin’s previous invasion of Crimea, Trump said, “OK – well, he’s there in a certain way. But I’m not there. You have Obama there. And frankly, that whole part of the world is a mess under Obama with all the strength that you’re talking about and all of the power of NATO and all of this. In the meantime, he’s going away. He takes Crimea.”
He was FORCED to place those sanctions then slow rolled em and they still haven’t been fully put in place.
Congress is still pretty pro NATO and anti Russia, what Trump is doing is what he knows best run PR change conservative opinion to be for Russia and against NATO.
