Trump Halts New Russian Sanctions, Reversing Haley

https://politicalwire.com/2018/04/16/trump-halts-new-russian-sanctions-reversing-haley/

"SNIP.........

President Trump “put the brakes on a preliminary plan to impose additional economic sanctions on Russia, walking back a Sunday announcement by U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley that the Kremlin had swiftly denounced as ‘international economic raiding,'” the Washington Post reports.

“The Trump team decided to publicly characterize Haley’s announcement as a misstatement.”

footage from missiles going in, no satellite photos, no high five-ing. No intelligence or damage review. This President is so obviously compromised. Maybe he's got plans to retire in Moscow's Trump Tower.

Isn't national security the top job for the president? Evidently I misunderstood Trump, He actually meant that only applies to the country of Russia and President Putin.

She deserves to look like a fool. Picked Marco Rubio, S.C. voters rejected her suggestion. Then took a job for Trump, stationed out of my favorite city NY. I'm sorry twice.
