"I'm the one that gave Ukraine offensive weapons and tank killers. Obama didn't. You know what he sent? He sent pillows and blankets," Trump said. President Trump claims his administration has been tougher on Russia than his predecessor's, arguing that former President Obama allowed Russia to annex Ukraine and only offered them "pillows and blankets."
"I'm the one that gave Ukraine offensive weapons and tank killers. Obama didn't. You know what he sent? He sent pillows and blankets. I'm the one -- and he's the one that gave away a part of Ukraine where Russia," Trump said in a "60 Minutes" interview that aired dSunday evening on CBS.
Trump received a great deal of criticism for failing to denounce Russia's efforts to influence the 2016 presidential election while standing on the same stage as Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki in July.
"I think I'm very tough with him personally. I had a meeting with him. The two of us. It was a very tough meeting and it was a very good meeting," Trump told "60 Minutes."

Remember when Obama calmly assured America that once he was elected all Mideast “hostilities” would cease? A confident Obama would make sure America was once again “respected” around the world. And who could forget Obama’s “Arab Spring” when all of the terrorists would suddenly become sap-happy humanitarians, weaving daisy chains while frolicking around the May pole?
=========================================
The screwed-up Obamaesque Democrat party has abandoned any pretense of “democracy” and now openly advocates
full-on, violent revolution as a means of regaining power, since voters continually reject them at the ballot box.
“norms”—I hate that
Obama sent weapons to narcoterrorists in Mexico and Islamic jihadists in Libya.
Obama wanted them to lie down and die
John McCain’s legacy lives on.
