Here is Trump talking about doing away with Russian sanctions back in 2015.

Courtesy of Mother Jones:  

While researching the strange story of two Russian gun aficionados who cultivated Donald Trump’s presidential campaign via the National Rifle Association, we came across a little-noticed but noteworthy episode concerning Trump and US sanctions against Russia. Sanctions have been a source of extraordinary conflict between the president and Congress and a matter of clear significance to special counsel Robert Mueller’s ongoing investigation. 

Just a month after Trump announced his campaign for the White House, he spoke directly to Maria Butina, the protégé of the powerful Russian banking official and Putin ally Alexander Torshin. During a public question and answer session at FreedomFest, a libertarian convention in Las Vegas in July 2015, Butina asked Trump what he would do as president about “damaging” US sanctions. Trump suggested he would get rid of them.

Trump does some riff about Putin and Obama, and then Butina asks her question:

“My question will be about foreign politics,” Butina continued. “If you will be elected as president, what will be your foreign politics especially in the relationships with my country? And do you want to continue the politics of sanctions that are damaging of both economy [sic]? Or you have any other ideas?” 

After going off on Obama and digressing into trade policy, Trump responded: “I know Putin, and I’ll tell you what, we get along with Putin… I believe I would get along very nicely with Putin, OK? And I mean, where we have the strength. I don’t think you’d need the sanctions. I think we would get along very, very well.”

Is it any wonder why Putin wanted this guy running America?

Clearly Trump has been Putin's bitch since the very beginning.

    Trump supporter fantasizes about conservative gun owners slaughtering soldiers and liberals in a new civil war

    Kurt Schlichter, who in the past has been condemned by historians of the Holocaust for saying that any Jewish person who supports Democrats “would have made a fine helper at Auschwitz,” has written up an elaborate fantasy of a new American civil war that involves armed Wisconsin farmers bringing down a column of Abrams tanks.

    Writing over at Townhall.com, Schlichter thinks civil war is more likely today than it has been in the past because “the central tenet of the Democrat Party platform is now hatred and contempt for Normal Americans.”

    While he still doesn’t think a civil war is likely, he believes that if such a war were to occur, Red America would defeat Blue America easily.

    “TRUMP IS GOING FOR A CLEAN RESET”: FUMING IN THE WEST WING, TRUMP PREPARES TO DEFENESTRATE CUCK ALLIES AND GO FULL MAGA

    The president will meet with potential chief-of-staff candidates at Mar-a-Lago next weekend. McMaster is likely next to go. Then Jivanka.

    “Trump is in command. He’s been in the job more than a year now. He knows how the levers of power work. He doesn’t give a fuck,”

      OT?"Stormy Daniels’s lawyer tells me they have not heard back yet from Cohen or anyone on Trump’s legal team about this offer to pay back the $130,000 for Stormy’s freedom to dish publicly on Trump."
      "The president has insisted that there is no truth to allegations he cheated on his wife." Re$eT!

      Other than everything, what can possibly go wrong If trump is "in charge" all by himself with only a few holdover Trump-ian business lackeys? there must be another golf caddy whom he can appoint to a senior White House position.

    Too bad the FCC, FEC, Big media, little media, web security and more did not do away with trump and the likes until now. This outrageous crime against civilization and a civil society has be going down for quite a few years now. Why are some media owners, blogs, website sites and some employed in agencies designed to protect us from this type of crime have not been acting and moving fast enough to stop it? It makes one wonder who is behind this dangerous crime and motivation. Drain the swamp is right and flush the dung out of our society today. Cut the crap and start calling the enablers out and lock them up for the crime against Americans...

    2. On the contrary. They enabled him. They built him up to be credible and legitimate.

      We’re all paying for it now.

    Trump is the stain on the congress depends underware that they sit on everyday, due to not wiping their ass we now have a full blown pile of shit staining our democracy. Get that pos out of our life and into prison. Throw congress out the door if they do not do their job for the people. End citizen united. You cannot tax the people if you do not represent the people. Taxation without representation is a crime in America. Hear that Russia? North Korea? Syria? Don't elect Little DICKTATORS.

    " Today, we know that even a far more localized and modest version -- say, a South Asian nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan -- could throw enough particulates into the stratosphere to block sunlight for significant periods and cause mass global starvation, threatening the deaths, it’s estimated, of perhaps a billion people across the planet.

    In his new book, The Doomsday Machine, Daniel Ellsberg, a man deeply involved in nuclear planning of the Cold War era (before he became the famed leaker of the Pentagon Papers), describes the situation:

    “What none of us knew at that time -- not the Joint Chiefs, not the president or his science advisors, not anyone else for the next two decades, until 1983 -- were the phenomena of nuclear winter and nuclear famine, which meant that a large nuclear war of the kind we prepared for then or later would kill nearly every human on earth (along with most other large species).”"
