Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

No government in the 12,000 years of modern mankind history has led its people into anything but the history books with a simple lesson, don't let this happen to you.

You said, "That Helsinki abomination was a shock to the system. Trump doesn't defer to a single soul on this planet, except Putin. Why?"

That is what I asked in different words than you, but it is the same thing.  Only Putin gets a pass from Trump.

Romans 12:16-21

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

I definitely don't see things that way at all.  My assessment is Trump keeps his ties with Putin amicable and I don't think Trump trusts him for a second.  Not in the least. He knows Putin is a threat. He has kept the line of communication open in order to get to know the man better and to try to stay one step ahead of him.    You know the old adage; keep your friends close and your enemies even closer.

And you know darn well... that if Trump openly insulted or created a hostile environment with Russia/Putin... these same anti-Trump bashers would be whining about that, too.  They'd then claim that he was pushing us towards nuclear war.   You know their game by now.....right?

@Victoria33  how exactly do you think Trump should treat Putin and what should he have done or not done??

Heads I win, tails you lose. It’s been Trump’s burden to bear from the day he was elected. And remarkably after nearly four years of this shit he barely shows the strain from the hostile, ruthless treatment he’s received—and that’s just from congressional republicans. Add in the media and democrats and we’re lucky he didn’t decide one morning to open a vein instead of his eyes, which I could imagine less sturdy republicans doing sometime after losing the House. But Trump just keeps saying bring it!

The right man at the right time for the job.   I'm convinced.

I must admit, his durability, resilience, even,  is an admirable trait.

It means you have standards.   Consistent standards.   Kinda like how laws should be upheld consistently vs. merely enforcing them based on a whim-du-jour, like the left does.  You don't like the laws... vote to change them.  You don't like the rules or standards on a forum.  Get your own forum or just leave.  It ain't complicated (except to some).

I actually think he enjoys it. Rush has referred to him as a "street brawler" on several occasions.

Yes, this is what I think. No other President has had to endure what he endured.
