Trump Gets Roasted After Bragging About How Tough He Is On Russia
President Donald Trump boasted Wednesday about taking a tough stance on Russia despite backing off on issuing new sanctions over its support of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad.
“There’s been nobody tougher on Russia than President Donald Trump,” he said. “With the media, no matter what I did, it’s never tough enough, because that’s their narrative. But Russia will tell you, there’s been nobody tougher than Donald Trump.”
Critics on Twitter immediately let Trump know just what they thought of his assertion:
Yes, let's ask Russia if Trump has been tough on them. I'm sure they'll play it straight.

Shouted a question at the end about Russia sanctions. Trump said he’s been tougher on Russia than any US President. Reagan and Kennedy would disagree.

Trump announced that there won’t be new sanctions after all against Russia for backing the chemical attack by Syria on its own citizens. Trump would have said more, but his mouth was too busy kissing Vladimir’s ass.

Trump again says "there has been nobody tougher than me" on Russia... just days after he rejected his own administration's plan to impose sanctions on Russia for their actions in Syria.

I'm sure that's EXACTLY what Russia will tell us since #Trump coordinates his strategy with Putin before he does his own Cabinet.#Resist #TrumpRussia #Collusion

Trump said that nobody has been tougher on Russia than him. If this is him being "tough" then I'd really hate to see him be "weak."

"There has been nobody tougher on Russia than President Donald Trump."
Trump actually just said that. In a lifetime full of pathological lying, this whopper is among his worst lies ever.pic.twitter.com/b7eMAbZnlE— Adam Best (@adamcbest) April 18, 2018
