http://www.rawstory.com/2016/10/van-jones-unloads-on-kayleigh-mcenany-for-defending-trump-you-cant-polish-that-turd/Im going to be very, very clear about this, he continued. Al Gore respected the Constitution, respected the process, respected every voter. He went to our Supreme Court, asked for a resolution on his own terms as did George W. Bush. And when the election results were certified, he told his party and base to stand down and accept this, even though a lot of us were very, very upset. What you just got now was the nominee of a major party for the first time in our history signaling to the American people that he has so little faith in our institutions, that he has so little faith in our people, and so little faith in our courts, and so little faith in the Republican governors, the Republican secretaries of state across this country that he will not stand in front of his own country, in front of his own nation and say that he respects the process and the outcome.
That is an outrage! he exclaimed with his voice rising. The appalling lack of patriotism from this man. The appalling lack of patriotism of this man to say this and praise Putin and Assad more than he has ever praised any American president. He doesnt talk about George Washington, He doesnt talk about Ronald Reagan the way he talks about Putin and Assad. This man has demonstrated an appalling lack of patriotism and you should be ashamed to defend it.

The alt-right movement is aligned with Putin. This is why Trump can't oppose Putin.
Alt-right blogs and podcasts have done many interviews with Alexander Dugin (see here:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aleksandr_Dugin) and praise Putin extensively for his views on immigration.
Trumpism/Alt-right is here to stay and sympathy for the "Fatherland" is a big part of it.

It is MORE THAN OBVIOUS that Putin has tRump enthralled, and I sincerely question where tRump's patriotic loyalties lie.
