Trump-Putin meeting lays bare wild Russophobia in United States

As someone who keeps a close eye on US politics, I have long found the Sinophobia among American politicians "absurd" and "disgusting". US presidential campaigns have often displayed the obsession of politicians to make China their favorite bogeyman.

However, I have to admit that in the past years, the Russophobia exhibited in the US has been even more horrifying. What happened last week reflected such maniac phobia.

US President Donald Trump, elected for his anti-establishment campaign, had to reverse the words he said at Monday's joint conference with Russian President Vladimir Putin in Helsinki due to the excessive backlash at home, especially from his Republican supporters.
