Putin Tells Trump That ‘Deep State’ Is Against Them
July 7, 2018 at 8:06 am EDT
By Taegan Goddard
Some White House officials worry that Russian president Vladimir Putin,” who has held several calls with Trump, plays on the president’s inexperience and lack of detailed knowledge about issues while stoking Trump’s grievances,” the Washington Post reports.
“The Russian president complains to Trump about ‘fake news’ and laments that the U.S. foreign policy establishment — the ‘deep state,’ in Putin’s words — is conspiring against them, the first senior U.S. official said.”
Putin has told Trump: “It’s not us. It’s the subordinates fighting against our friendship.”
