We may be being naive here. What if we give Trump a little more respect for his cunning. He wants to aid Putin and this gives home cover (acting to reduce gas prices). He is more evil lawless and cunning than we give him credit for when we say he’s just dumb.

He really never checks to see if what he says is legal. Buying diesel from Russia is illegal right now. It’s in conflict with our sanctions. But Putin told him what to say and he said it - verbatim.

It’s not only in conflict with sanctions, it’s in conflict with the Constitution. Only Congress can appropriate funds for purchases. They, most certainly, did not appropriate those funds.

putin talked trump into breaking the law he just signed three weeks ago. his entire life's work is to make america look as rotten and corrupt as his failed soviet state. trump is a willing participant in that project. bot farm goes down? easy. get potus to start a racist pogrom against somalis!

Totally agree. I think Putin initiated this deal and closed it by telling tRump all that diesel will cause our prices at the pump to plunge and tRump would take the credit. tRump was played *again*.

We should remember tRump has no Friends or allies. (The ones we nurtured for the past 80 years!) He's pushed and insulted them away. He only has his evil cronies to beg for help, and the only way to get that is to pay them. Xi got our sacred AI chips and Putin needs to sell his oil. We don't want it

Yes, I think he knows exactly what's going on, he just doesn't care. Helping out his buddy Putin is something he's only too happy to do.
