Critics aghast as White House displays framed photo of Trump with Putin

[Swede]

Donald Trump has apparently added a framed photo of himself standing with Vladimir Putin to the White House decor, prompting criticism from a senator, members of the media and beyond.

Newly surfaced photos from the Palm Room, which connects the West Wing to the executive residence, show a framed image of the US president and the Russian president at their summit in Alaska last August. Notably, that event marked the first in-person meeting between US and Russian leaders since Russia invaded Ukraine in early 2022. The meeting drew complaints from Democrats who accused him of “cozying up” to Putin, and rolling out “the red carpet” for the Russian leader “instead of “standing with Ukraine and our allies”.

17. This is

Vlad's revenge on Americans and our country. This is payback for us dismantling the USSR. And he's using an idiot to do it.

An ex-KGB'er evil to the end. I hope these wicked damaged men pay a large price for their hatred of humanity and their lust for power.

I found this article and will post if anyone is interested to read it.

20. Trump rolling out the red carpet for Vlad @

a U.S. military base on American soil was
shameful. Vladimir was paying the Taliban
100 k per U.S. soldier they killed in Afghanistan.

The man is a Russian agent.
