Putin loves Trump because Trump is bad mouthing NATO

Putin would love to have Trump be President because Trump has many times and still keeps saying he will not help NATO members defend themselves..that is like an open invitation for Russia to have free reign in Eastern Europe. No wonder Putin loves Trump and timed the email leaks to knock out Hillary. This might actually backfire and help Democrats in November.

going to be in the driver's seat in that relationship. Trump thinks he is masterful and a good negotiator but he has already handed over foreign policy and domestic policy to his vp, even before he had a vp, and months before he had the job (if he wins) because it did not interest him. Trump has a low threshold for things that are not about him. He will be easy for Putin to manipulate.
