<p class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">"Admittedly, Trump has many flaws and much of his foreign policy is in keeping with the usual criminal conduct of American imperialism. But one thing that can be said in his favor is that he is not driven
by an irrational Russophobia nor a hellbent determination to have a confrontation with Moscow — unlike many in the US establishment.</span></p>
<p class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Trump is often guilty of peddling fake news himself. But one thing he gets right is his dismissal of the "Russia-gate" narrative as a hoax. The US establishment created that farce as a way to undermine Trump
and overturn his intention of normalizing relations with Russia.</span></p>
<p class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">For two years, Trump's political enemies have been flogging the "Russia interfered in our democracy" trope — to no avail. The latest wheeze was the unsubstantiated indictment of 12 Russian military intelligence
personnel only days before the Helsinki summit.</span></p>
<p class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">To be fair to Trump, he wasn't dissuaded by that effort to sabotage his summit with Putin. But the trap was set. As soon as the meeting was over in Helsinki, all hell has broken lose in the deep state-controlled
US media and politicians, condemning Trump.</span></p>
<p class=""><span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Russia's Putin called the tedious allegations of Russian interference in US democracy "the biggest nonsense ever". Trump said he agreed with that assessment. Probably many ordinary American citizens also agree
that the whole affair has been cooked up by political elites who were never happy with the democratic mandate given to Trump.</span></p>
<span style="font-size: 14px;" class="">Trump is right to reject the so-called US intelligence assessment claiming that Russia under Putin's orders meddled in the presidential race. Putin told the Helsinki press conference that he wanted Trump to win the election
in order to improve bilateral relations. So what? Are foreign leaders not entitled to have opinions on who comes to power in rival countries?…"</span></font>
