President Trump said Friday that he’s looking to meet sometime this summer with Russian President Vladimir Putin, and that the U.S. should move beyond its objections to Moscow’s annexation of Crimea in 2014 because then-President Barack Obama failed to stop it.
“It’s possible that we’ll meet, yeah,” Mr. Trump told reporters at the White House.
Noting that he has proposed for the Group of Seven nations to readmit Russia, which was kicked out of the coalition over the illegal taking of Crimea from Ukraine, Mr. Trump said, “I think it’s better to have Russia in, than to have Russia out.”
“President Obama lost Crimea long before I got here,” Mr. Trump said. “It’s his fault. President Obama lost Crimea, because President Putin didn’t respect President Obama, didn’t respect our country. President Obama, not Trump. When it’s my fault, I’ll tell you.”
He said the episode was just part of Mr. Obama losing international respect during his presidency. Mr. Trump also raised Mr. Obama’s infamous “red line” in Syria, when Mr. Obama vowed to attack Syria if it used chemical weapons in its civil war, but then backed off the threat when Syria did use chemical weapons.
@ Lorenzo:
Why are you so derogatory against black skin colour…….That sounds very bad, blaming people for what G-D allotted to them.
@ Lorenzo:
This is the very first time I’ve encountered a staunch Anti-Trumper no matter what, on this site. It’s like Anti-Semitism, irrational and unreasoning. Don’t you think, assuming that you haven’t completely lost your marbles, that TRUMP IS CORRECT.
I see everywhere, evidence that Trump is right and Obama was wrong. Not only with Crimea, but much else too. The political scandals that are daily being revealed in the US, and which will tear the whole Government Establishment into shreds before it’s rebuilt on proper Constitutional lines, is directly the fault of Obama leadership and the Democratic Party, into that morass. It becomes clearer daily.
So, considering that you have the good sense to be a member and poster on this site, I am surprised that you could have such aberrant thoughts, against which the true facts are plain to see. For as long as the Democratic Party has been, they have developed a depth of corruption unheard of anywhere in history, except perhaps the Rome of Caligula. (Israel has it’s own kind of the same thing) Obama is just the latest and most harmful of a long list of duplicitous products of the Democratic Party, corrupt to the core.
It’s no accident that New York Democratic Headquarters was Tammany Hall, which was ruled by the Mafia, and where Frank Costello the Boss of Lucky Luciano’s Mob used to appoint his choices for political places and was referred to as “The Prime Minister” .

Nice demonstration.
Re: Trump: Obama lost Crimea to Russia, time to move on with Putin
Trump reminds me of drug addicted people who are incapable of taking responsibility for their lives. Blaming Obama for every problem that exists reveals that he, Trump is incapable of solving problems and even more, exposes his intense envy of Obama who was a better man than he in every respect except for skin color.
