Republican Rick Wilson laid waste to Donald Trump for simultaneously trashing America and being Vladimir Putin’s puppet during a press conference on Monday.
Wilson said Trump might talk tough, but he was clearly the one wearing a dog collar and seeking a pat on the head while Putin continues to get everything he wants.
“[The world] saw the Donald Trump who comes out acting like he’s the swaggering alpha male and he sat there on the stage like a whipped dog,” the Republican said.

The Republican strategist said:
I do think, though, that a lot of people today saw the real Donald Trump. They saw the Donald Trump who comes out acting like he’s the swaggering alpha male and he sat there on the stage like a whipped dog. I mean, he wanted Vladimir Putin’s approval. He didn’t care about anything else. He wanted Vladimir Putin to pat him on the head and to tell him he’s a good boy and nothing else mattered. He was defending himself with these wild haymaker punches trying to bring Hillary Clinton back into the conversation. But it was very clear today who the boss was in that room and who wears the dog collar. And it’s Donald Trump.
Donald Trump is beholden to Russia
It is clear that Russia has the goods on Trump. There is no other way to explain his behavior toward thuggish dictator Vladimir Putin.
The president’s conduct is especially eyebrow-raising given the fact that Trump is a man who doesn’t hesitate to attack anyone and everyone, including American allies, without even the slightest provocation.
The fact that he doesn’t take any and every opportunity to stand up to an actual U.S adversary – especially when it would benefit him politically – speaks volumes about what he might be trying to hide.
Russia has Trump on a leash, and he knows it.
