Read how Susan Glasser gives a time-line of Trump's antics.
And Yes, Trump was on the phone with Putin inviting him to the WH before the election.
"On Friday, before his “inspection” of the bunker, he held a press conference to announce that he was pulling the United States out of the World Health Organization, in the midst of the covid-19 outbreak, because he claims that it is too pro-China. On Saturday, after German Chancellor Angela Merkel said she would not attend, Trump cancelled the G-7 summit of world leaders that he planned to hold in Washington later this month, called the collection of close U.S. allies “very outdated,” and invited Russia to rejoin the group for a September gathering. Europeans quickly rejected the idea, including British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, a Trump ally whose unlikely premiership had been boosted by the American President. Undeterred, Trump called Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday morning to formally propose the plan, hours before he announced that he was ordering the U.S. military to Washington to defend his White House from American protesters."
