Rand Paul Has A Unique Take On Trump’s Meeting With Putin

One thing is certain. Liberals were going to freak out over Trump’s meeting with Putin no matter what happened. However, a whole lot of Trump supporters are upset that Trump didn’t defend our intelligence community in the presence of Putin.

You can read more on our take here and here.

However, Sen. Rand Paul has a VERY different take. It’s actually pleasantly surprising.

One Republican senator says critics of President Donald Trump’s approach to Russia are “mistaken” and points out that the United States has also picked sides in other countries’ elections.

Sen. Rand Paul of Kentucky says it’s important for the U.S. to keep an open dialogue with its adversaries, especially if it hopes to motivate them to change their behavior.

Paul tells The Associated Press, “We should look for ways to make the dialogue better.”

He ultimately added that Trump’s critics are “mistaken.”

Who do you trust? The American intelligence community? Or Vladimir Putin?

What do you think? Are you with Trump’s conservative critics, or do you agree with Rand Paul?
