Challenge: Name one thing that Trump has done to aid the Russians

While Trump has occasionally made nice noises about Russia, and Saudi Arabia, it's always been in the context of improving our relationship with them; they do still have thousands of nuclear weapons for Heaven's sake.

Historically when Reagan talked tough about Russia Democrats were furious and demanded that Reagan be more appeasing towards the Soviet Union.  Yet now when Trump talks mildly about the Russians the Democrats rage on about it.

While Democrats are convinced that words are more important than actions--the whole virtue signaling concept that the left is so enamored with--the reality is is that it's actions that count and Trump's actions have Putin really angry at the US.

Trump convinced NATO to increase defense spending aimed at Russia.

Trump supplied offensive weapons to Ukraine which is fighting a Russian invasion.

Trump bombed Russia's client in Syria when Assad used chemical weapons on his own people.

Trump convinced Germany to drop a major natural gas deal which would have made Germany even more dependent on Russian energy and made Russia hundreds of billions of dollars.

If Putin has something on Trump he'd have used it by now. After all Democrats have gone easy on Russia for decades.
