The former head of Richard Nixon's presidential library questioned on Tuesday whether President Trump's relationship with Russian President Vladimir Putin and a possible trip to Moscow undermine American interests around the world.

In an interview with CNN's "OutFront," Timothy Naftali questioned whether Trump would be boosting Putin's image and reputation by attending a Victory Day parade in Russia at his invitation, which Trump suggested in November he might do.

"The question is whether our president is representing U.S. national interests or representing his own interests," Naftali said.

We are STILL suffering from Nixon’s visit to Red China. Nixonians are among the last I would ask for political advice.

“Nixon Historian” = “Lefty extremist dedicating to preserving and curating the false narrative the Left has built around Nixon”.

Never heard of him.

This claim is based on Trump being the first elected president who did not come up from the political class. The media, et al. can't understand or countenance a businessman in the White House....

Any random nobody can get on CNN if he’ll bad-mouth PDJT.

Well, OF COURSE it will improve Putin’s image. THAT’s partly why Putin is inviting Trump. SO WHAT?

Nothing wrong with better relations between a nuclear superpower and a nuclear semi-superpower. We have some common enemies. That doesn’t mean we are going to be pals on all matters. But, I don’t mind Russian arms to be pointed south and east, rather than towards the West.

WTF is wrong with these morons? Reagan had Gorbechev at the White House, and vice versa. It’s called diplomacy, and a lot can be done when you talk, although often nothing happens, but definitely no good can occur when you don’t.

Naftali is gay and Canadian. That means that yes, we can blame Canada for this idiot. As if we have a shortage of left-wing gays, we seem to be importing them from Canada.

So it was ok for Nixon to go to Red China Kiss Mao’s ass and betray our troops left in Viet Nam?

Nixon sold out the free world just for a picture with Mao on the front page of the NY Times.

All right, this article is pretty desperate. Media’s really searching high and low for anyone important-sounding to say something negative about President Trump for an article.
