Donald Trump has 'obligations' to those who brought him to power—Putin ally

No shit... This dude is more openly corrupt than last time he was president... He's killing thousands of people with his "policy's" he's sending innocent people to prison... Because the color of their skin... And it's only been 2 months... This dude is on his way to being this generations Hitler and if he doesn't start WW3 than that's the best we can probably hope for...

Wouldn't prominent Russians only say stuff like this publicly if they wanted to sow discord? Trump's words and actions - especially with respect to Ukraine - make it clear that he and Putin are friendly, but statements like this seem like they undermine Trump at a time where it's beneficial to Russia for him to be supported and further empowered. It confuses me.
