That's a very lame rationalization for Trump's behavior vis a vis Putin. When Trump stated in Helsinki, standing on the same stage with Putin, 'I don't know why they would interfere', despite being told by all of our intel agencies that's exactly what the Russians did, that's called kissing your enemy's ass.
If that didn't make you cringe, if it didn't make you ask yourself 'WTF does Putin have on this dolt?', then you are not a reality based individual.
How about keep your friends close and your declared adversaries, declared by the adversary's words and actions, at arm's length? Cooperate where possible, oppose where necessary.
Trump was soft on opposition to Putin, suspiciously, unprecedentedly and shamefully so compared with all presidents who preceded him.
