U.S. Rep. Don Bacon (R-Neb.) says it's 'pretty clear' Trump is on team Putin - Alternet via MSN

“Speaking at the Sedona forum … Bacon said Trump is “totally failing” on confronting Russia right now,” Bobic posted to X. “It’s pretty clear (Trump) and his team favor Putin over [Ukrainian president Volodymyr] Zelenskyy.”

Bacon may have additional insight into what he feels is Trump’s comparably robust friendship with the Russian strongman and accused assassin. Recently Bacon joined a bipartisan effort to introduce the Countering Russia’s War On Faith Act, complaining that Putin’s “brutal invasion of Ukraine is not only an attack on a country that seeks democracy, free markets, and alignment with the West, but also includes a deliberate campaign to suppress and persecute religious communities.”

“The Countering Russia’s War on Faith Act will ensure we fully document these abuses and hold those responsible accountable through sanctions. I’m pleased to join Rep. Wilson and my colleagues in this bipartisan effort to stand up for religious liberty and the Ukrainian people,” Bacon added.

Trump’s polling, meanwhile, is at his lowest of his two terms in office, and approval of his treatment of the U.S. economy is currently tipping beneath that of former president Jimmy Carter, who found himself the frequent butt of Trump’s jokes regarding popularity.
