I hope so too, but have little faith.
Don’t hold your breath trump is in hock to his eyeballs with the russians
Be sure to show your surprised face when it doesn’t happen.
I expect sanctions for the coming approved annexation of Crimea will be tossed aside.

Yeah, the guy who opened his anus to shit all over domestic and international norms and mores is going to stand up to the guy who controls whether he gets to build Trump Tower Moscow when that guy violates international norms? Is BO trolling Trump or US?

Kinda hard to stand up to someone while you’re licking their boots.

Can I go into a medically induced coma for four years until this repulsive orange gasbag is gone?
I hope Russia stands up to Trump when he flouts international norms.
