Are you kidding me. His biggest supporters were Putin and Xi. His son-in-law got a 2 billion dollar check from his friends in Saudi Arabia. His daughter got millions of dollars in patents from China. The deficit ballooned under Trump and he could care less because gets filed bankruptcy in order to no pay his own bills. Please the guy is a grifter thru and thru.

??? President Trump is ranked as the third toughest President on Russia/USSR, after Truman and Reagan, and possibly tried with Harding and Eisenhower. He took actions against Russia, from signing agreements with Finland and Norway to jointly surveille the Arctic for Russian naval activity to promising Poland U.S. natural gas if the pipeline directly from Russia to Germany stopped their supply from Russia, to ending the Iran funding plan, which included $10 billion for Russia to build nuclear facilities.

And President Trump of course was extremely tough on Communist China. He targeted their theft of billions of dollars of American intellectual property and worked hard to get jobs returned to the U.S.

Most likely you mean President Obama. He certainly was a strong supporter of Russia, allowing them to buy 20% of American uranium ore, for example. The Russians just had to pay Secretary of State Hillary Clinton millions of dollars (and her husband Bill got his own $500,000 for a 2010 Moscow talk hosted by a banker friend of Putin's). Overall, Obama is ranked by historians as the second friendliest President to Russia/USSR, behind only Franklin Roosevelt, who had a world war going on.
