Ironically Putin probably actually respected Obama more for it. Instead now the president sucks off Putin and he probably just sees him as an object to be used and manipulated.
The joint press conference in Helsinki (2018?) comes to mind.
Asked whether he thought Putin was behind the hacking attacks on the US, Trump replied that he “didn’t see how it could be.”
When criticized for his trusting Putin over his own intelligence agencies, Trump, in the ultimate act of spinelessness, said that he meant to say, “I didn’t see how it couldnt be Putin.”
Didn’t have the testicular fortitude to say it to Putin’s face, though. It’s all bravado, all theatre.
