No way this compares to Obama's weakness before the Russians. Trump compromised nothing, gave away nothing, and just expressed a willingness to improve relations with Putin.

NOTHING Trump said compares to this:
Obama to Medvedev:"I can be much more flexible after the election..."


Trump didn't "draw a line in the sand" in Syria and then cave.
Trump didn't leave it to Putin to send him a lifeline in Syria, to let Russia verify Assad had no more chemical weapons, and then a year later enable Assad to slaughter Syrian civilians with chemical weapons!
Trump didn't sit on his hands while Putin took Crimea.
Trump didn't sit on his hands while Putin further invaded Eastern Ukraine. Quite the opposite, Trump is arming the Ukranians and pushing back on all these fronts, FAR from "being Putin's bitch".

Did Trump make some odd remarks in his press conference with Putin? Yeah.
Did Trump give anything away on any of these fronts, or ease up on sanctions? Fuck no.

So I'm chalking it up to Art of the Deal tactics for opening further negotiation, while compromising nothing.

He's not the guy who promised to be "more flexible after the election" or who delivered a $150 billion palette of cash, just some somebody would pretend to be his friend.
That was "Putin's bitch" Obama.
