Trump was played by Putin? Not compared to Obama

So Washington Post and other media outlets go to James Clapper and John Brennan – who both lied to Congress and who essentially allowed Putin to do whatever he wanted in Ukraine -- to say that Trump is being played?

One of the first things Barack Obama did upon taking office was to back away from a commitment to put up missile defense shields in the Czech Republic and Poland to appease Putin.

When Putin attacked Ukraine, Obama wouldn't even provide Ukraine with defensive weapons -- and that certainly pleased Putin.

I don't believe Trump ever joked about Russian hostility being an outdated relic of the Cold War, as Obama did to Romney prior to the 2012 election.

And Obama told the Russians that he’d “have more flexibility after the election”. This is like telling a car salesman, “I’ll be able to pay more after payday”.

One of the most disabling and disarming tactics in relationships and negotiations is empathy (real or played).

The Left subconsciously know how easy it is to play them, so they project their own insecurities onto Trump.

I don't think Putin or anyone else can play President Trump....he is draining the swamp, this is what has the GOPe/deep state trying desperately to have this good President removed...POTUS trip abroad was very successful both in politics and behavior....'a gentleman on the dance floor and a w---- in the bedroom....that is our President...so unlike his predecessor who was played and disrespected because he blamed his country rather than himself...traitors are quickly recognized as weaklings.

Trump spent his life in the New York City business world and the press thinks he’s never run into a bullsh*tter before.

Or perhaps they think we’re stupid enough not to recognize that they are the bullsh*tters.

I see it as that he planned to steal the election, which he did.

Of course many on our side helped him by staying home, but how did he know eight month before the election that he would be reelected.
Notice he did not say to Mediyev (sp) if I am reelected. He said clearly after his reelection, which means he planned to steal the election.
