Analysis: GOP increasingly says Trump has been played by Putin | CNN Politics

But even as Trump’s appeared highly reluctant to come to the conclusion that Putin is playing him, Republican lawmakers have been doing it for him. They’ll often dress it up in order to avoid alienating Trump, but they’re painting a picture of a US president who’s been had.

“President Trump wants to make sure that he is giving every opportunity for peace to get this war resolved. But Putin is playing him right now,” Sen. Joni Ernst of Iowa said Wednesday, before adding: “And I think the president understands that.” Sen. Thom Tillis made similar comments.

Been played? As if he wasn't full in from the beginning?

These stupid fucks are twisted in so many rhetorical knots they're becoming completely incomprehensible
Republicans have been played by Trump. Trump is Putins reek
Yep.
2 SECRET REASONS PUTIN IS GOING TO ALASKA!
Thought they'd rather be Russian than a democrat or some shit.
Well, go on then.
That's what I dislike about him most. He's self serving and gullible. As long as he makes money, or his ego is satisfied, he is easily manipulated.
Trump hasn’t been played by Putin, he’s owned by Putin. He’s a dog on a leash
- Yeah the only people getting played by Putin are the rest of the conservatives who aren't getting a paycheck. And, I guess, the rest of us who have to deal with the consequences of their idiocy
  
  I don't even think Donnie is getting a paycheck.
  With everything revealed about him and his ties with Epstein, he's almost certainly some kind of creep towards minors. He is also clearly attracted to eastern European women. Add to that that his own daughter made him promise not to date anyone younger than her, and then consider how he's surprisingly hostile about people not forgetting about the Epstein list, despite being comparatively fine about being called a rapist by his detractors.
  Would not at all be surprised if Putin gave him an evening with an under-aged Russian girl, filmed it, and is blackmailing him.
Yet they still refuse to do anything about it.
- They're trying, but Putin is a very hard man to please.
- Pretty much. No point in even reading these articles. The conclusion has been entrenchment and stratification for like 70 years
Listen, Art-of-the-deal-Donnie's just gonna give Putin another 2 weeks and this time Putin will come around.
I’m a little surprised by their very basic detective skills then
Who's been played more, Trump or Trump voters?
Y'all like conspiracies Check it out vox
How can you play your boss and master?!
- *be played by
Ernst should relax, we're all going to die anyway.
