Maxine Waters: Trump Is 'Putin's Apprentice,' Republicans Should Protest Putin Meeting Outside White House

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-CA) accused President Trump of being “Putin’s apprentice” on MSNBC Sunday following the news that Trump will be meeting with the Russian president at the White House in the fall. Waters also claimed that she knew what Putin and Trump discussed during their private meeting in Helsinki, Finland earlier this month.

Waters, who has issued dramatic calls for Trump’s impeachment since the beginning of his presidency, said she believes Trump discussed lifting sanctions on Russia during his private meeting with Putin.

“I think I know what they talked about,” she told MSNBC’s Joy Reid, “they talked about lifting the sanctions, they talked about the upcoming elections, they talked about all of the things that they could not talk about in an email or on the phone. He had to go and meet with him in private so that he could talk about what he’s going to do what I believe is his commitment to get those sanctions lifted.”

“This president, I believe, has promised him (Putin) that, once he was elected, he would get those sanctions lifted,” she added, “I think he is Putin’s apprentice. He’s been under his tutelage for a long time now.”

Waters blamed Republicans for not protesting the president over his invitation for a fall meeting with Putin.

“I dare them to talk about how patriotic they are given what they’re allowing this president to do,” she said.

“He’s going to invite him unless the Congress of the United States really takes some serious action,” she continued, asking, “how many of the Republicans are saying I won’t come to the White House, I’m going to be outside demonstrating? How many of them saying don’t invite me to any dinner, you better not have a state dinner.”

This is not the first time Waters has called for protests. She faced serious backlash, including from members of her own party, when she told her supporters at a rally to harass Trump administration officials in restaurants, stores, and gas stations.

Some world leaders, including German Chancellor Angela Merkel, consider President Trump’s planned meeting with Putin to be a positive thing for both countries.

However, Democrats reacted to the announcement with angry rhetoric Friday. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) called on House Speaker Paul Ryan (R-WI) to promise that a “thug like Putin” would not address a joint session of Congress as world leaders occasionally do when visiting. Pelosi also shares Waters's theory that Putin has compromising information on Trump, calling the Russian president Trump's "puppeteer" last week.

High-ranking Democrats and some Republicans criticized President Trump’s remarks at a press conference last week following the Helsinki summit where he appeared to downplay Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Trump later clarified that he agreed with the U.S. intelligence community’s assessment of the issue.

Marxist Waters should list which of her positions are to the Right of Putin.

She has already called for the forfeiture of private business and “socializing”/nationalizing industry.

Until then the record stands that she betrays America’s standard of liberty.

Putin could have given Trump a lot of dirt on a lot of people.

It is probably a safe bet that a lot dirt on the rats from the Clintoons to Obama was shared by Putin.

The formerly in power, rats are concerned about old KGB files and newer files with “The KGB’s main successors, the FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) and the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service).

Can Waters & the Democrats be so pea-brained as to pick an issue that makes the comparison undeniable?

Who's the puppet/bitch/stool..... of Russia/Putin?

- Russian/Syrian use of chemical weapons against civilians:
"Red line" Obama does nothing. Trump bombs the crap out of their chemical weapon facilities.

- US weapons for Ukrainian to defend against Russian invasion:
Obama denies them. Trump OKs $90 billion worth.

- Missile defence shield for now free nations of Eastern Europe
Obama scraps the program. Trumps re-initiates the program.

- German-Russian pipeline enriching Russia,causing German dependence on the Russia and suckering the US to pay their tab in NATO.

Obama keeps his mouth shut and does nothing. Trump confront & cautions Germany publicly at NATO conference.

“The Dems would do themselves and the country a favor if they have a straight jacket put on Mad Maxine.”

Now, Now! Be quiet!

Mad Maxine is the best thing the rats have going against Trump. Let her keeping blabbering until Trump is re elected with a surplus of MAGA’s in Congress.

“I just realized what all this hubbub is about. The leftists are in a panic wondering if Putin ratted ‘em out. Can you imagine the deals that Obama and Hillary put together, or tried to put together, with Putin?”

You are now with the program.

The formerly in power rats are concerned about old KGB files and newer files with “The KGB’s main successors, the FSB (Federal Security Service of the Russian Federation) and the SVR (Foreign Intelligence Service).

So are you saying, Moms Mabley, that your buddies in the Deep State are still spying on Trump through email and the phone?
