President Donald Trump has faced multiple setbacks in his first month in office, and its leading some of his fans in Russia to question if hes really the tough leader they once believed.
As Foreign Policy notes, the tone against Trump has shifted over the past week, as many Russian politicians are questioning whether he really has the will to take on his political opposition, both in terms of his rivals in the Democratic Party and within the intelligence community.
In fact, one popular picture thats making rounds on Russian social media this week is a photograph of graffiti sprayed on the side of a garbage depot that reads, Trump is a f*ggot.
Moscow-based photographer Sergey Sukhorukov was among the Russians who shared the photo on his Facebook page this week, where he also wrote that Trump had betrayed Russia despite the fact that the country had believed in him. In particular, he ranted against a statement from White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer this week saying that Russia should give Crimea back to Ukraine.

(58,785 posts)the nuclear codes are in the hands of volatile marshmallow who would use them if pushed, or even to prove who's got the bigger balls, or just abandon all agreements on a whim.
But absolutely agree that what he's achieved so far is a big win for him, with promise of more.
He is out on a limb, though. He keeps power by making supporting him worthwhile for his circle of kleptocrats and fanatic Russian nationalists. America has the capacity to the chortling to regret, though, and with it Putin's removal.

As President you are in a position to do a lot of good. But you have to go in that direction first.

Republicans never vetted their president, not even a basic background check or security check. Immigrants get vetted much harder.

If the Russians thought Trump was anything but a 8th grade educated, psychopath, and sexual deviant, they obviously are not as smart as we think they are.

Trump supporters celebrated their victory.
"It turns out that United Russia won the elections in America," Viktor Nazarov, the governor of Omsk, Russia, declared in a radio interview.
