Anything short of walk up and punch Vlad square in the nose was destined to be labeled "Muh Treason"

The exact opposite of whatever he did, which is irrelevant. They're going to bitch and complain no matter what

They would prefer he not draw a moral equivalence between the US and a murderous authoritarian regime. They are ridiculous.

I’m not the left, but I wanted a little more. The press threw out that “gotcha” question to force Trump to throw someone under the bus.

All he had to do is say that he’s confident in our IC findings that the hacks came from within the Russian borders, and that Mr Putin, and the rest of the word hopefully understand interference in our elections will not be tolerated.

Middle of the road response.

I am "defending" from the insane response and behavior of the libs the last 24 hours. Completely irrational.

No one is crying, you dolt. He was objectively terrible yesterday. I know you are struggling to acknowledge that.

Tell him to stop fricking with our elections, and if he doesn't we are going to sanction the frick out of him to start with. He didn't even mention ukraine/crimea in the press conference.

Be a tough guy, you know the persona trump uses all the time but with Putin.

Something like that sounds fine. Or possibly a harder stance. He went REALLY soft.

His option was middle of the road or tough.

Not have the meeting.

If you are going to have the meeting aggresively address Crimea.

They truly didn't care what he did, they would have had equal outrage if he had called Putin a liar. In that case, the media would have stated his lack of diplomacy on the world stage was grounds for impeachment.
