    Default Trump faces backlash after congratulating Putin on election win"

    "Trump phoned Putin on Tuesday to congratulate him for winning a fourth term and to discuss a possible summit meeting. But Washington seized on the topics that were not discussed, which include Russia’s interference in the 2016 U.S. presidential election."

    "Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) said the president “insulted” the people of Russia by congratulating Putin for winning an election whose result was never in question."

    “An American president does not lead the Free World by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections,” said McCain

    http://thehill.com/homenews/administ...n-election-win

    "Trump congratulating Putin is 'like congratulating the Harlem Globetrotters"

    http://thehill.com/homenews/house/37...ing-the-harlem

    Appears the bromance continues

    Oh for Pete's sake it's common as hell for somebody to congratulate their employer on a victory

    In a democracy, no one could ever win an election of that kind with 75% of the vote. Its better to say nothing than give an approval to fraud.

    Some 145,000 observers are monitoring the voting in the world's largest country, including 1,500 foreigners and representatives from opposition leader Alexei Navalny's political movement.
    I can't recall the last time that any democratic election, anywhere, wasn't followed by accusations of rigging and irregularities by the ' losers '

    Geez- look at the crap that Billary is still slinging a year later.

    Yes- but the UK has already burned its diplomatic boats.

    Besides, have you seen the state of its Foreign minister, one Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson ? It's a stuffed troll in a suit.
