How might that president behave towards those oligarchs?

He might share classified intelligence with Russia so they could avoid being attacked:

Good on Trump for helping to stop a terrorist attack. This is not war! Please tell me that you’re not insinuating that this was a bad thing. In case you don’t know, terrorist attacks are meant to cause carnage and take human lives. Lives of innocent men, women, and children. Please tell me that you aren’t using this humane act as some kind of political talking point. Are u trying to tell me that if Obama had this same intelligence information that he would have just sat on it and done nothing to save innocent lives? He would have let tens, hundreds, or possibly thousands of innocent people die? That’s what happens in terrorist attacks, dumbass. You’re truly a special kind of stupid!

We will never find out what that call between Trump and Putin was REALLY about, because Trump no longer allows others to listen in and all call transcripts are immediately hidden on top-secret servers.

My guess is Putin gave Trump his 2020 to-do list. Which the Trump-puppet will carry out obediently.

Then there was the private meeting between Putin and Trump where no other US officials were in the room (totally against norm/protocol to not have at least one other witness) and Trump grabbed the translator's notes, never to be seen again

Russia controlling the narrative

"When news arrived early Sunday that President Donald Trump had spoken to his Russian counterpart, it didn't come from the White House. Instead, word came from Moscow, where the Kremlin issued a brief statement saying Vladimir Putin had initiated a call to thank Trump for information provided by the United States that helped foil a terrorist attack in St. Petersburg. It would be more than 24 hours before the White House officially confirmed the conversation in its own statement. The 63-word American description of the call largely echoed the Russian version, with the addition that the men discussed arms control."

"Neither side provided additional details about the information the US had provided."

Definitely fishy. There was a minor attack in Moscow recently so Putin has a motive to appear tough and on top of security. But was there really a threat? Why wouldn't it be a joint statement?

Thanks for your commentary. We can all rest now!

Then there was Bush driving Putin around his Texas ranch in his pickup truck without any US officials, reporters, translators, recording devices, or transcribers within miles. Just two world leaders hanging out going for a drive. You were crying about what normal protocol? Not to mention their meeting at the White House and Camp David. Where were your liberal tantrums and tears back then? Oh, I almost forgot, it wasn't Trump. I got it now.

Wow, you're finally starting to realize that this isn't a left vs. right issue. It's a right vs. wrong issue. The truth doesn't care who finds it or which side it benefits.

There may be hope for you yet. Happy New Year.

Truth is truth and spin is spin. No libtard meltdowns when Bush hosted Putin at his private ranch. Yep invited him right in the front door. The two of them even went for a drive and shot the shît. Where was the liberal outrage back then? Where was the liberal bellyaching and tantrums? Not one mention of compromised Russian agent. Not one mention of Russian spy. Not one mention of Russian asset. Hmm, maybe TDS (Trump Derangement Syndrome) is real.

And there you have it. Straight from the horse’s mouth! These libtards don’t even hide it anymore.

The incident you reference was in 2001. I thought it was highly inappropriate back then, and I still feel that way now.

BTW, I voted for GWB twice, so I'm not sure why you are expecting "liberal outrage". Oh wait that's right, anyone critical of Trump must be a flaming liberal because that's the only way your feeble brain can process it. Got it.

I never hesitate to criticize leaders of my own party that act in ways that oppose national security. How about you?

Yeah right, “highly critical”. 😂. Trump can’t wipe his ass without being call a spy, agent, asset, or traitor. Yet Bush opens the front door of his private home and invites Putin in. Where was this high criticism you speak of? None of you libtards cried for his impeachment, did you? Nope. Yet you lose your shît over a Trump phone call? You can swim in the hypocrisy. Imagine if Trump invited Putin into his home and just the two of them took a little drive around Mar-a-largo. You idiots would literally shît yourselves. Moreover, Obama invites the mastermind of the recent US Embassy attacks to the White House and still no highly critical rants from you. No mention of being compromised, spying for a foreign government, or other bullshît liberal conspiracy theories. Sounds like hesitation to me! Dude, you’re a straight up fraud. You only criticize Trump and hand out free passes to liberals like candy. I call u out on your hypocrisy and then you come up with some story about fake outrage. It’s OK, we know your Modus Operandi. No need to hide it.

Early days when we hoped Russia would become an integrated member of the world. Now they invade countries and have made it clear they cannot be trusted. Trump sure does love his Pooty though.

You cannot trust Russia. Period. In Bush's day Putin was playing nice and the world thought they could all get along. That hasn't been the case in a long time.

Gee, sounds like Putin sure was “playing nice” back then. It’s hard to take you libtards serious. You distort the facts to backup your lies and weak arguments. Anything you can do to point the finger at Trump. Talk about “feeble minds”. Please don’t hesitate to call out a wrong when you see it.

“When Putin came to power in 1999, he almost certainly approved, and perhaps even orchestrated, the bombings of two apartment buildings in Moscow, in which hundreds of innocent Russians lost their lives. As Amy Knight, a specialist on the KGB, argues, the evidence makes it “abundantly clear” that the Russian security service, the FSB (which succeeded the KGB), was “responsible for carrying out the attacks.” Concludes Knight: It is “inconceivable” that the bombings would have been done “without the sanction of Putin,” who exploited the panic they created to crack down on the Chechens and present himself as an indispensable leader. Putin used the bombings to reignite the Second Chechen War, in which he launched a massive air and land campaign that produced thousands of refugees, reduced much of the Chechen capital Grozny to rubble and killed at least 25,000 civilians“. - Politico 1/17/2017
