43. That he has done so for 20 years makes me sad.

An example:

During the Republican National Convention in July 2016, President Trump and his campaign worked to change the national platform to make their policies more pro-Russian and less pro-Ukraine. In the platform, they decided to no longer call for giving weapons to individuals fighting the Russians in Ukraine. This was in contrast to the position of other Republican leaders. Not only did they not include it in the platform, they also went behind the scenes to shut down delegate amendments calling for tougher Russian sanctions and aid for the Ukrainian military. Therefore, the platform passed at the hands of the Trump campaign was completely at odds with many other Republicans' stance on Russia, which should be a signal unto itself.
