Trump has called Putin’s moves ‘genius.’ He has also cancelled a meeting with the Russian president and accused him of ‘destroying Russia.’

The most recent Reuters/Ipsos poll, shows that despite a steady 44% approval rating since taking office, other areas of his job performance have changed. Americans’ view on his handling of the economy, for example, have gone from 43% in late January to 39% this week.

Trump's post escalated his conflict with a judiciary that's been one of the few restraints on his administration's aggressive agenda.
