    Exclamation Trump's briefing materials said DO NOT CONGRATULATE, in all caps. He did it anyway.

    Trump’s national security advisers warned him not to congratulate Putin. He did it anyway.

    President Trump did not follow specific warnings from his national security advisers when he congratulated Russian President Vladi*mir Putin Tuesday on his reelection, including a section in his briefing materials in all-capital letters stating “DO NOT CONGRATULATE,” according to officials familiar with the call.

    Trump also chose not to heed talking points from aides instructing him to condemn Putin about the recent poisoning of a former Russian spy in the United Kingdom with a powerful nerve agent, a case that both the British and U.S. governments have blamed on Moscow.

    The president’s conversation with Putin, which Trump called a “very good call,” prompted fresh criticism of his muted tone toward one of the United States’s biggest geopolitical rivals amid the ongoing special counsel investigation into Russia’s election interference and the Trump campaign’s contacts with Russian officials.

    ". . . they’re not sending their best.

    They’re sending traitors.
    They’re sending criminals.
    They send rapists and pedophiles.
    ... and some, I assume, are good people.

    But there's no collusion, there's no massaging Putin's ego, there's no kissing Putin's ass. Nothing to see here, folks.

    It is a sad time for America when our largest "geopolitical rival's" leader presents with more maturity, leadership, and strength than the blustering bootlicking child we're (temporarily) stuck with.

    There's working with another nation. Then there's allowing another nation to hack our grid, interfere in our elections, and tirelessly work against us on the world scene, while cravenly praising their leader and doing absolutely nothing to stop them.

    Except Trump doesn’t act like it lol.

    He destroyed one of Vlad’s bases in Syria. Trump has killed a few Russian mercenaries there—those are Russian citizens, btw. And Trump has out-sanctioned Obama with Russian sanctions.

    What’s Vladie waiting on?

    Kelly furious over leak of warning to Trump to not congratulate Putin

    Washington (CNN) - White House chief of staff John Kelly is furious about the quick leak of a warning to President Donald Trump to not congratulate his Russian counterpart Vladimir Putin for his re-election, a White House official said.

    Kelly intends to address the matter Wednesday as aides try to figure out who leaked the warning, the official said. The Washington Post first reported Tuesday that Trump congratulated Putin despite warnings from multiple national security advisers and briefing materials that said "DO NOT CONGRATULATE."

    "This is unacceptable," the official said, speaking about the leak that some believe was an attempt to embarrass the President and national security adviser H.R. McMaster, who was there for the call.

    The official described anger and disappointment in the West Wing over the leak. The White House declined to officially comment on the matter, with an official adding that they "cannot comment on alleged classified deliberative documents allegedly provided to the President."
