Trump: " Obama was such a bad president, he ruined any relationship we could've had with Russia"
Trump: " Crooked Hillary was the worse Secretary of State, she ruined any relationship we could've had with Russia."
Trump: " The Smurfs were so unsmurfy, they ruined any relationship we could've had with Russia."

And things were looking so good for a Trump Reset. Maybe if we let them have Crimea they'll like us more.

from Putin's remarks saying the Russian/ U S relationship is worse under Trump (or something to that affect) and now Trumps comments are all an attempt to convince us that there really wasn't an election hacking issue..
and it gives the Trump subjects more issues to argue with.

can just keep slinging the bullshit. I'm hoping that someday we can have a statesman in the White House again, like we just had for eight years before January.

about Russia and United States 'no getting along".
The MSN (I call it the the Corporate Mafia media) has been screaming for something to run with,in their minds,something that could deflect the Russian ties..
This is certainly put in place by Putin and Trump to deflect any suspensions about the Russian hacking,,really the media fell for this?
Just a few short week ago Putin had this to say:

Putin says Russia has man friendsy in the United States
[Reuters]
ReutersMarch 30, 2017

ARKHANGELSK, Russia (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Thursday that his country had many friends in the United States and that its troubled relations with Washington would get back on track at some point

"....so that we can give him the concessions we promised him in the first place during the campaign, but now under the guise of 'diplomacy.'"

And also, "It's Obama's fault we're not getting along with Putin."
