In a press conference held after his summit meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, Trump strongly implied he agreed with Putin's assessment that the Russians did not meddle in the 2016 U.S. elections, even though U.S. intelligence has concluded that they did.
Despite Trump's spectacular bungling of this diplomatic moment with Putin, the Trump administration is still pushing back hard against Moscow.
Not unlike Trump's summit with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un, the meeting with Putin validates a regime that has violated the borders of other sovereign nations, is propping up the Assad regime's bloody war in Syria, is constantly provoking its neighbors, and has attempted to meddle in America's elections.
There's a far simpler explanation: Trump was more concerned with sticking it to his domestic opponents than being tough with Putin.
He's a pawn because Putin has a good read on Trump and the domestic climate in America.
First, the Justice Department charged a Russian woman with being a foreign agent who was trying to arrange secret meetings between Trump and Putin.
The Trump administration has more or less adopted the correct policy toward Russia.
