Trump emboldened Putin by increasing US dependence on foreign oil. Privately met with him, without record or press.

In 2017, the first Congressional Delegation to Russia (all Republicans) had a private meeting with Putin on July 4th - Independence Day!

Trump recently praised Putin and called his tactic “genius” and just today Tom Cotton(R) refused to denounce Trumps support of Putin.

Ad nausem…

Trumps indirect support of Putin and Kim Jong Un was also particularly unnerving.

"Trump emboldened Putin by increasing US dependence on foreign oil."

This statement seems detached from reality, unless by "foreign" you mean "Canadian".
