"Trump's extraordinary promotion of Putin" — In move to soften #Russia's pariah status, #Trump advocated publicly & privately for #Putin at #G7 … amid warnings that Russia is actively trying to interfere in the 2020 presidential election. washingtonpost.com/politics/trump… h/t @McFaul
Spot-on description of Trump as #Putin’s advocate, apologist & promoter at #G7, working hard to soften #Russia’s well-deserved pariah status.
😲Trump even tried to redefine G7 as NOT a gathering of democracies. And became combative about democracy having no special weight‼️
There’s no good reason to reward Putin now. #Russia’s only become a worse pariah since annexing Crimea in 2014. Think Ukraine, Syria, Skripal, election ops.

We’d be fools not to view Trump inviting Putin to G7 as also an invitation to help him in 2020, as he did in 2016. #Maddow
“Orwellian spectacle” is a good way to describe Trump’s screed about Putin “outsmarting” Obama. It captures the deliberate nature of his propaganda, burying facts in absurdities. Doubly absurd as he rewards Russia’s crime by blaming the guy who punished it.nymag.com/intelligencer/…
@jonathanchait NEW DETAILS: #Trump lobbying for #Putin caused heated clash w/ allies. Merkel, Johnson & Trudeau were firm: as long as #Russia is still in #Crimea, joining #G7 was not up for consideration. Merkel & BoJo also argued being anti-democratic was disqualifying. msn.com/en-us/news/wor…
