Acting as an agent of Russian influence is a regular occurrence in Trump's camp and he always supports such people. It would be more surprising if someone around Trump acted like an agent of influence for freedom and democracy.

It's a big task to manage when the world's most powerful person is a toddler with adhd and full blown narcissim.

Yes fortunately most of the Americans are much smarter than their president.

Well there is indeed a lot to be ungrateful about.

Maybe also emphasize his point that the US no longer has any real leverage to force this through. Most journalists seem to be ignoring the fact that Trump has made the US irrelevant.

Are they smoking crack in the Whitehouse?

Be careful about what you ask for.

At least the US unintentionally makes Russia divert assets that may have been used against Ukraine.
