Soon, the US will begin the election of the head of state and many bright and eccentric politicians will take a direct part in them. Among them, of course, is the “Republican” and businessman by profession Donald Trump. The attitude to Russia of this presidential candidate is clearly perplexing among many representatives of the political establishment of the “most democratic” country. However, paradoxically, a substantial part of compatriots support the views of the multimillionaire in relation to the Kremlin. Speaking to his constituents, the entrepreneur repeatedly and loudly made bold and odious statements regarding the foreign policy of the White House, which, in his opinion, could not withstand any criticism. But what can Donald Trump have in return? “Attitude towards Russia must be radically changed. The Russian and American peoples need to find a common language, ”said the businessman.
Naturally, with the above statements, the eccentric presidential candidate made a lot of “political” enemies, who hastened to call him “fascist”, terrorist recruiter and friend of Vladimir Putin, trying to weaken his confidence rating.
One way or another, but the above fact could not discredit such a bright personality as Donald Trump. The attitude towards Russia on his part remains unchanged. He continues to admire the actions of the Russian president in foreign affairs. In fairness, it should be noted that the surname of the head of the Russian state has never sounded so often before the election of the American president.
Successful businessman
Donald Trump (attitude towards Russia is as loyal as possible) is a descendant of German and Scottish immigrants. His career started in the company of his father. He quickly grasped the basics of entrepreneurial activity, and was able to achieve success in business in a relatively short period of time. Today he owns golf clubs, construction companies, casinos. The businessman has created his own clothing line for men and is the author of several books on successful commerce, including: “The Art of Making Transactions”, “Think Like a Millionaire”, “How to Get Rich”. To the first hundred customers, he presented a hundred-dollar bill and put a personal autograph.
The entrepreneur, whose fortune is estimated at $ 6 billion, is the leading author of the program on television "Intern."
The audience remembered his catchphrase: "You are fired!" In an interview, he, not without a bit of gloating, addressed it to George W. Bush.
Criticism towards Obama
Donald Trump always speaks very specifically about Russia, hoping for a speedy rapprochement of the positions of world powers in foreign policy. Against this background, the businessman’s criticism of the presidential administration and its leader is quite logical and understandable: “Look at what our country has become! We live in a world where the global respect rating is zero. We plunged into a military conflict and this participation was unnecessary. It is not the Iraqi leader who destroyed the New York Twin Towers. Saddam Hussein was a clear opponent of terrorism and in every possible way suppressed all its manifestations. His death only strengthened the migration processes of radicals in Iraq. The United States needs to curtail military operations in the Middle East, ”the multimillionaire emphasized.
“We often had a confrontation with Russia”
“Western countries have long declared pseudo-superiority. Vladimir Putin deserves respect only because he “opened his eyes” to this fact, ”the candidate for American presidency said.
What else did Donald Trump say about Russia? “We have never understood and still do not understand this“ mysterious ”country, which has unique natural resources, ” the businessman added.
He sharply criticizes the novice policies of the countries of the so-called new Europe - Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, which supply US soldiers and officers to carry out force methods in foreign policy.
It is necessary to establish a dialogue …
Donald Trump is even more eloquently expressed about Russia and Putin. He notes: “The rating of confidence of Vladimir Putin among his compatriots today is simply going through the roof. I want us to agree with the opinion of the Russian people. The President, in spite of everything, is moving towards his goal, in order to defend the national interests of his own country. This is the only way to increase the degree of national identity, and Putin manages to do this. But Obama’s policy does not help to increase the authority of the authorities in the eyes of the Americans. On the contrary, it creates fertile ground for terrorist threats. The fact of the establishment of pro-American regimes in some countries of the Middle East reinforces this trend. Hollande, Merkel and the other heads of EU member states should take the Kremlin’s position, but this, perhaps, will not happen, since they are psychologically not ready to admit that without the participation of Russia, no international conflict can be resolved, ”the“ Republican ”emphasized.
One way or another, but the main statement made by Donald Trump about Russia and Putin boils down to the following: "The foreign policy of the Russian president is based solely on prudence and the people living in the vast territory understand this very well."
“The United States is not a global law enforcer”
Billionaire Trump criticizes his own power because he is not happy with the role of the United States as a hegemon on a global scale. As for the Ukrainian question, in the opinion of the American businessman, only European countries should deal with it, since this directly concerns them.
“Today the United States is determining the political course in Ukraine. And where is the participation of Germany and other countries of the "Old World"? Why should we fulfill the mission of a policeman all over the planet? ” - the politician is perplexed.
Ukraine and the North Atlantic Block
At the same time, Donald Trump has repeatedly stressed that he does not care whether Ukraine will be part of NATO in the future.
He added that he would react calmly to both a positive and a negative solution to this issue.
“Putin is a leader to be reckoned with”
Of course, for a huge number of Americans, the information that Donald Trump confessed his love for Russia was shocking. However, almost every candidate for the presidency of the United States today considers it his duty to express his own attitude to Vladimir Putin, and it is his person who is focused on all attention, and not on the political course that he adheres to. It is easy to guess that almost all the representatives of the political establishment of a country dominated by democracy continue to denigrate the Russian president in the eyes of the world community, trying to strengthen the effect of "demonization" of Russia. And only the eccentric businessman Trump does not want to “dance” to the tune of the White House. He turned out to be perhaps the only presidential candidate who endorsed the policies of Vladimir Putin. Even his rival and party colleague Senator Rand Paul, who adheres to liberal views and carefully considered actions in pursuing a foreign policy, did not go “against the tide” and agreed with the correctness of the anti-Russian policy.
“I can establish relations with Russia”
Struggling for the votes, Trump often said that Russia should turn from an enemy of the United States into a friend. And for the implementation of this task it is necessary to sit down at the negotiating table with Vladimir Putin.
The American businessman stressed that the Russian president considers Barack Obama a short-sighted politician, so it will be difficult for him to find a common language with him. And Putin does not like a black Kenyan.
Only the American billionaire will be able to reconcile the "Yankees" with the Russians. This is the mission Donald Trump can handle. Statements about this odious politician about Russia indicate that if he is elected to the country's top post, warming will begin in relations between the White House and the Kremlin. But the opponents of the businessman believe that his intentions to get closer to Moscow reduce his confidence rating among voters, which they cannot but rejoice at. Noteworthy is the fact that their calculations turned out to be directly opposite. With his bright and fervent speeches that the political conflict with the Kremlin needs to be nullified, he only increased the number of his supporters. And the candidates who criticized the foreign policy of Vladimir Putin, on the contrary, lost the support of a huge number of their electorate.
Trump's rating is growing rapidly
Confidence in the nominated millionaire began to strengthen after he supported the Russian Air Force operation in Syria, saying that Putin had chosen the right tactics to fight the Islamic state. A potential US president noted that the Washington authorities need to make maximum attempts to get closer to Russia, since Obama will not succeed in coping with terrorism without the help of the Kremlin.
This position is supported by a huge number of Americans and at present, Trump's rating of trust is much higher than that of his main competitors. He had an ally in the person of Vladimir Putin, who in a delicate form supported the billionaire, intending to sit in the chair of the president. Of course, a serious "trump card in the sleeve" received Donald Trump. The Russian position of this eccentric politician gave him extra points in the struggle for the main post in the country. And he understands this perfectly.
Putin's opinion
The Russian president recognized Trump as a serious leader on the US political Olympus. In response, the businessman said that he greatly appreciated the opinion of the head of the world power.
When representatives of the White House call him a dictator and a tyrant, the billionaire turns to him with the phrase "respected leader." Donald Trump about Russia says that this is a "great country." His competitors immediately responded: “How dare he!” However, the businessman reacted to the criticism rather calmly, stressing that his rivals in the presidential election were simply envious of him.
“Vladimir Putin favors me. To me, in turn, he is also pretty as a politician. I’m sure that we will succeed at the diplomatic level to resolve all differences and look in the same direction with the "great" power, "the presidential candidate said. After such statements, it is not difficult to guess how Donald Trump relates to Russia.
“It is beneficial to be friends with Russia”
The "Republican" in every possible way makes fun of its competitors in the debate and does not tire of repeating to them that Russia for the USA is its main ally and strategic partner.
“Together we must fight terrorism, develop trade and actively cooperate in other areas. This promises mutual benefits, ”the businessman emphasized. Donald Trump’s policy towards Russia, if elected to the presidency, will be friendly, which today is contrary to the principles of big American politics.
