Donald Trump doesn’t care what anyone thinks about his puzzling relationship with Vladimir Putin — that includes his own foreign policy team, Republican senators and US allies.

That much is clear from the President’s latest encounter with his Russian counterpart Tuesday that highlighted his refusal to ever publicly criticize Putin and his increasing tendency to follow his own counsel.
Trump’s administration says Russia assaulted American democracy, used a nerve agent in an attack on the soil of its closest ally, Britain, and just held an election that cannot be judged free and fair.





Yet the President did not bring up any of those issues during a telephone chat with Putin, White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders said.

Bafflement in Washington about Trump’s attitude to Putin is sure to be exacerbated by a Washington Post report that Trump did not follow briefing materials provided by his advisers which warned “DO NOT CONGRATULATE” — a reference to Putin’s re-election and which also called on him to condemn Russia over the attempted assassination of one of its former spies and his daughter in Britain.





A President has wide autonomy on foreign policy and in normal circumstances it would not be unusual for a commander in chief to deviate from his script. But in Trump’s case the report is the latest example of his unusual deference to Putin, following the 2016 election in which US intelligence agencies assessed the Russians intervened on his behalf.

In fact, Trump spoke about the Russian leader as if he was operating in an alternative reality to the rest of Washington and the West where anger is boiling about Russian election meddling and anxiety about its belligerence is heightening.

Trump congratulated Putin on his election victory, and spoke in an upbeat manner about talks he hoped to hold with him soon, billing their meeting rather like a Reagan-Gorbachev summit from the 1980s.

I wanted to ask too self.
People are getting wiser now than ever that the American system is trying to play God over issues of men and try to force them to do their bidding in anyway necessary, both through blackmail or militants, media, etc.
If they see that ur system is alternate to theirs, they would use all means necessary to paint u black.
...And I also think that the issue of nerve agent poisoning is a sham on Britain's angle because if Russia was involved, the person would have died before anyone would know it because they would use a quantity potent enough to achieve their aim easily.
