Overwhelming majority of Russians dislike President Trump: poll

Well, it seems the folks in Russia don't think Trump is in bed with Putin or their friend. In fact, a majority consider him "dangerous". You wouldn't say that about someone who is bed with your leader. If Trump is doing the Kremlin's bidding, they should be thrilled. They have seen that Trump is not lock step with Russia - contrary to what the media has reported. He hasn't listened to them on the Iran Deal, Jerusalem Embassy, Paris Accord, has exported energy to Eastern Europe, criticized a German deal with Russia for energy, wants more money for NATO, has given arms to the Ukraine, has kept sanctions, has expelled 60 diplomats, and has opposed them in Syria - killing 200 of their mercenaries as well as bombing it. To say he's a friend is ridiculous.

Russianbot bookmarking story. Just following orders.

" . . . even though he has cozied up to the Kremlin in an unprecedented manner, frequently floating his wish to become Vladimir Putin’s “friend.”


More fake news. The most obvious effort to "cozy up" to Putin came from Obama and Hillary, with their "reset button" and all that.

[Logical me]

F Russia. Tired of that bunch of real ars holes. Want war, you might get it.

I wouldn’t read anything into this. Russia is (or recently was) rated as one of the most Xenophobic countries on earth. They don’t like Trump. They don’t like Americans. They don’t like anyone outside their borders. But mostly they don’t like Americans. When I was there a few years ago my host told me to always say I’m Canadian because it makes things slightly less awkward. No, this wasn’t Spies Like Us. This was real life.

[Retvet]

I would say over whelming amount of Americans dislike Putin.

[CptnObvious]

Awe Cry Me a River! As if I really care about Russian Polls.

Trump is doing Great!

[Colorado Doug]

So, if true, why would Russia colluuuuude with the hated Trump to get him elected?

[P.O.E.]

The Daily News is anti-Trump? Say it ain’t so! /s

[ichabod1]

I can’t wait for this meeting to come off. I think it’s going to change the world.

[Leaning Right]

I’ve got an idea. Trump should give Putin some sort of “reset” button. That might bump up those popularity numbers a bit.

Met a guy on a plane out of Moscow once that told me they like Aussies. They really, really like Aussies, he said.

[2banana]

Huh???

Funny how they don’t remember obama whispering to the Russians “I can have more flexibility after the elections” comment

“even though he has cozied up to the Kremlin in an unprecedented manner”

[rrrod]

Excellent! Wouldn’t want Russian scum to like Trump/USA...

[ichabod1]

Now that you mention it, when I was in Mexico last a guy accused me of thinking they are a nation of thieves (which I do but it’s beside the point). I’m going back this fall, perhaps if it comes up again I should tell people I’m Canadian.

Trump has given anti tank weapons to Ukraine after Obama refused. He’s also slapped some pretty stiff sanctions on Russia and has been openly pressuring the Yurps not to build another gas pipeline.

Yet the lying MSM claims he’s “cosied up” to Russia. No he hasn’t. He’s been significantly tougher on them than Obama was.

[dfwgator]

Old joke.

Russian and an American are discussing their countries....

The American says, “In my country, I can say that I don’t like the American President.”

The Russian retorts, “I can do same in my country. I too can say that I don’t like American President.”

[antidisestablishment]

Interesting. I’ve found Russians much more nationalistic than xenophobic, but I admit my experience is with Russian expats. (My wife speaks enough to follow the real conversations, though she isn’t fluent.)

Those we met overseas were more the “hate America; not Americans” response once common to most Europeans. Of course, given the Leftist vitriol, such civilized discourse is anachronistic. These days, I’m more inclined to visit Eastern Europe over the despicable cowardly West. Once I’m retired, Russia’s on my bucket list.

[daler]

It's not even "bias" anymore.

This kind of "reporting" would be laughable, if so many sheeple didn't buy into it.

[JimRed]

How many Americans dislike Mr. Putin? Doesn’t seem unusual for a competitor’s and possible opponent’s citizenry to feel that way.
