Ben Shapiro: There’s Always Been a Disconnect Between Pres. Trump’s Rhetoric and His Admin’s Policy on Russia

‘The president is sort of playing both sides’

RUSH EXCERPT:

SHAPIRO: "The fact is there’s always been a disconnect between President Trump specific personal rhetoric and his administration’s policy with regard to Russia. And that sort of reared its head again when the president was very complementary on Vladimir Putin over the last week and a half and his administration continued various sanctions against the Russians. They continue to provide deadly weaponry to the Ukrainians. They said they will not recognize the Russian seizure of Crimea as legitimate. All of this suggests either that the president is sort of playing both sides and he’s carrying — he speaking loudly and then he is essentially doing the opposite in order to promulgate a particular policy or as the president says stuff and the administration cleans it up for him. Either way the outcome is basically the same."
