It should be obvious even to a moron, but apparently from your question it's not, that the globalist deep state shadow government has more power than the president and is who is running this country, including who gets investigated and prosecuted. That heavily embedded subversive traitorous corruption is what we elected Trump to deal with.

Obama care would have been repealed except for the Democrats and you damn well know it. We only needed we only needed, I believe it was, not more than 2 more votes to have passed the repeal. The swamp is being drained against horrific majority resistance. But everything happening in government moves along very slowly, as you well know, and the resistance of all the corrupt lifelong politicians, including Republicans that benefit from the corrupt establishment don't want their golden goose killed. And the wall is beginning to go up and Mexico will pay for it with tariffs on imports, less money being sent back to Mexico, and their having to keep more of their own uneducated peons that are bringing their Marxist mentality and helping to turn our country into a Third World quality.

If there actually was a God why on earth would it bless an capitalist imperialist America that since the end of WW-ll is responsible either directly or by proxy for the deaths of approximately 20 million third world people making the world safe for US capitalism and that doesn't take into consideration the Slavery of African people the subjugation of native people. The exploitation of Latin American peoples. the colonization of Puerto Rico, Cuba, Dominican Republic, the Philippines, The overthrow of the Hawaiian Monarchy and its annexation two years later. With a history such as that why would any God bless it

With all the things a Savvy Businessman is doing to restore and build the economy, I don't believe higher fuel prices are going to kill it back to Obama levels, but probably will cause some inflation ----- By saying "Putin doesn't give a rats ass about the American people" do you mean that in his mind he puts the people of his own country 1st ? (as he should) Or something more nefarious than that? You say we have been trying to break Russia for years, but we have already done that and they came back quite a different country. They have even done the Uncommunistic thing of allowing freedom of religion and Putin himself now proclaims to be a Christian. I see no reason why we should not be cooperative and friends with each other just because we are competitors. Other than to stand up for what is right and our values if they are threatened, I see no reason that we should be doing things to try and harm Russia. But of course that's what the globalist want, because that serves their agenda to force us into a one world government through chaos. Did you know that the UN's model is "Order Out Of Chaos" ???

Both Trump and Putin are against globalism because they want to retain the sovereignty of their own countries. That is a powerful reason for cooperation, while I see no reason, both in our country and in the world, to be trying to harm each other. It is no longer so much Right Vrs.Left as it is Globalist Vrs.

Mark Summer;
A report on Russian state media shows that Donald Trump has already delivered not just a gift to Vladimir Putin, but possibly the gift that Putin has wanted all along. In a conversation on RT, the two hosts note that to implement all the domestic programs Putin has promised for Russia, the cost will be 8 trillion rubles ($127 billion). But, where, the host questions, is Russia to get such a huge amount when the government has long been strapped for cash?
Female host says: "Looks like we found it. Trump is withdrawing US from the Iran nuclear deal. Oil prices should go up, which is good for us."
Crude oil futures have leapt from $26 at the time of Trump’s election to $77 today. Back in January, Trump actually certified that Iran was in compliance with the nuclear agreement. However, Trump threatened to end the agreement if it wasn’t expanded to include items unrelated to Iran’s nuclear program and “strengthened” in unspecified ways.
Trump increased his warnings that he would end the deal in February, and by March was engaged in talks with European allies—talks at which allies consistently urged Trump to remain in the deal and Trump consistently announced his intention to walk away. As the talks wore on, and Trump’s intransigence became clear, fears of a destabilized Middle East began to shore up oil prices.
Russian oil production hovers around 10 million barrels a day. That means the increase that has already happened in oil prices is providing Putin with an extra $520 million a day. If the prices were to continue at the level generated by Trump’s actions for a year, Putin could meet all his promises to Russia—and have $60 billion to spare—just out of the net increase.
Everything else that Trump has or hasn’t done about Russia, any sanctions, any tariffs, any expelled diplomats, absolutely pales in comparison to the huge boost he provided to the Russian economy by backing away from the Iran nuclear deal. In fact, short of actually starting a shooting war in the region, it’s difficult to find anything else that Trump might have done of more benefit to Putin. It’s certainly difficult to think of anything Trump might have done to generate a more certain boost for Russia.
Which raises the question: Was this the deal all along?

Since oil prices began falling from record highs a decade ago, Russia has been facing steep deficits. This has led to a significant level of privation. Russia has reduced its gaping debt over the last year, but only by slashing vital programs. It has also affected Russia’s ability to deploy it’s military power.
In 2014, as oil prices declined again, the value of the ruble tumbled, making it more difficult for Russia to borrow or import goods. At the start of 2015, the purchasing power index for Russia—the actual value of the country’s money when it comes to buying a standard “basket of goods”—was the lowest in the world.
The falling ruble triggered waves of inflation across Russia, putting prices up by double digits across the board, raising the interest rates to near 20 percent, and leading to widespread calls for wage and price controls. In 2016, Russia’s faced growing debt and declining GDP. Retail sales and personal wealth were both sharply down. Predictions were for a sustained period of oil prices below $20.
Despite the apparent ease with which Putin retained office, the prolonged pinch was beginning to hurt. Mass anti-Putin protests broke out in multiple cities on several occasions since 2011. Increasing emigration threatened to rob the country of it’s best and brightest. Putin ran for re-election on a platform of returning Russia to Soviet-era glory, with radical boosts to infrastructure and technology. But the prospect for meeting those goals seemed slim.
Officially, Russia had been planning for moderating markets in 2018, with small production cuts from OPEC setting the oil price around $45. Only that number seemed optimistic. Even six months ago, increased US production and flat global demand looked to hold prices down for an extended period.
Only one thing could stabilize the Russian currency, safeguard the government against a fresh wave of protests, and allow Putin to deliver on his fat stack of promises—a steep increase in oil prices. But oil was cheap, and there was no reason for it to stop being cheap.
So, if Donald Trump was tasked with solving that problem, what could he do?
Trump could hardly order a cut in US production. He might increase US strategic reserves, but not only would that generate a temporary effect, the current reserve is only 30 million barrels below the maximum capacity. Hardly enough to disrupt the market. He might also take steps to increase US consumption, such as raising CAFE standards. Which he has. But that effect will be felt more over the long term.
The only way to drive prices up significantly was to threaten the production of a nation that made a significant contribution to the world market. A contributor like Iran, which exports 2.5—3.8 million barrels a day, making it the third largest player in OPEC.
Itan has several advantages as a target. It’s not a US ally. It’s already wracked by internal instability that has world markets eyeing it warily. And best of all, Trump had a direct connection to Iran through the nuclear agreement. He could pull that cord, and watch the market go nuts.
Breaking the agreement didn’t really cost Trump much. Just the faith of every other nation on the planet, who now see that the US is willing to violate a treaty over the objections of allies and the evidence that the other party is living up to the deal. In other words, nothing that will concern his supporters.
But for Putin, Trump’s actions are mana from heaven; an undeserved bounty. Putin literally had to do nothing to see the Russian economy lifted out of the ditch where it has languished for years and restored to a position that empowers both domestic and military goals.
Putin had to do nothing … unless, of course, this is exactly why he did everything.
For Trump’s part, there seems to be no evidence that he left the Iran agreement with the goal of restoring Putin’s power. But it’s completely evident othat’s what he achieved.

It is our NWO CFR Foreign Policy that puts Israel's interests above American interests.
The Banking Cabal have ALWAYS been behind higher oil and higher energy prices. They kept us under the thumb of OPEC for decades.
A partnership maybe?

BTW;something to think about.
Putin has been an advocate of Christianity in Russia, While Christianity has been under attack by the Leftists in America.
Atheistic Communism is not being pushed in Russia. Putin imprisoned many of the Oligarchs that turned Russia into the USSR.
The banking cabal is at the core of the Synagogue of Satan. Parasites of the highest order.
Time for more Americas to quit using the 3 Monkey and Ostrich Head in the Sand approach.
We were or are on the threshold of losing our Republic.
The Lefties want that, and the closet NWO Fascists want that also.
Christianity stands in the way of that, and is under attack here and abroad.

Go live in russia if you think putin cares about his people,yea he likes them as long as they dont speak out against him if they do guess what.They are dead.You do know russia and saudi made an agreement to lower oil production to drive up prices,so the economy getting better doesnt have much to do with it,as it has been growing for the last 9 years and prices for gas have not been rising.Point is with the russian and sauda agreement to cut back production and all our oil being pumped out of our ground loaded on tankers and shiped overseas who does it hurt?

President Trump did all he could to get the wall built. It is well known that Rinos and Jackasses have formed incestuous relationships to keep the flow of illegals going into the United States of America. For the Jackasses it is cheap Nannies for their bastard children and gardeners to tend their Earth Friendly gardens and most important they are future Democrat voters. For Rinos it is cheap labor for big business. The Jackasses for as much as they pretend to hate big business are also on that payroll.

I agree that Trump has failed in locking up Young Barry and Hillary. Then again I think the delay is building special prisons for the both of them. Barry is so skinny from eating Michelle's cooking that special cells with bars super close together have to be constructed. Otherwise he will use his mouseman powers to slip between the bars. Hillary needs an even more expensive sound proof cell created, so that her fellow inmates will not be driven mad by her frequent whining over how she lost the election.
