This whole Trump being pro-russia needs to die. It's so dumb. If repeated enough times it'll become truth unfortunately.

Trump looked to increase NATO defenses and aggressively pump oil and gas to crash the global price of Russia's chief source of foreign exchange. That's hardly pro russian. Ironically, Biden comes in and kills oil production in the US, forcing us to then rely on external oil markets for our resources which gives Putin money to pull shit like this.

Trump also unilaterally left the assymetrical US-Russia missile accord. Hardly pro russian.

Trump ordered lethal force to be used against large numbers of Russian mercenaries who attacked a U.S. installation in Syria. He also sold offensive weapons to Ukraine.

Where is this pro russian Trump you speak of?




Trump has consistently parroted Russian propaganda over his own intelligence while in office, and has not stopped since leaving office:

The oil and gas pumping you mention started under Obama, and responding to an attack on American forces with lethal force is an incredibly low bar. The other state department actions don't change that his administration was vocally pro-Russia.
