Trump Thanks Rand Paul For Defending Him After Putin Summit
President Donald Trump thanked Republican Senator Rand Paul for defending him after his controversial summit with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Paul was one of the only prominent Republican members of Congress to defend Trump, saying, “It’s gotten so ridiculous that someone has to stand up and say we should try to engage even our adversaries and open up our lines of communication.”
The president added, “Republicans that are making the criticism are either the pro-war Republicans like McCain and Graham or the anti-Trump ones like Sasse … They are motivated by their persistent and consistent dislike of the president.”
